Onoff Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Semi-detached bungalow built in 1960. Has a rear dormer extension. There's an unused chimney stack comes up about 2/3 of the way along the dormer. This for the old fireplace and at one time solid fuel boiler. Now a modern gas boiler with the flue to the rear of the property through a downstairs wall. I think the stack goes up through the flat dormer roof. (Photo angle makes it look like the ceiling is sloped, it's not). The question is is this likely to be structural as in could it come out and the roof be patched? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I doubt it is holding anything up. Take out the coving and some of the plasterboard at the top and have a look. Beware of asbestos in this age of house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I removed one of these a few years ago with no problem, just check no ceiling joists are joined on the stack when it’s removed, if so then sister them. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
