Removed Chimney Breast
Verb
Posts: 227 Forumite
Hi
I live in a Victorian terraced house. The chimney breast at the front has been removed into the loft. The back chimney breast is still fully in place.
I believe it was removed sometime around 1988 or before.
Its not tired in although the angle bit that emerges from the upper floor into the loft only has the back bits that are tied into the brick.
What would have been the front face is removed, but only from the front chimney. The rest is fully intact and solid.
The chimney is 1800mm wide at the top.
Where the front chimney has been removed 500mm in and 500mm up has been taken away. Leaving a bottom of 1300mm.
My question is what should I do with what I have
1300mm is supporting 1800mm which is about 73%
