The Process Of A West Midlands Chimney Breast Removal
Before we can start the chimney breast removal it is always best to contact a structural engineer so that a structural design can be created for the structural supports which will be required to ensure that the chimney stack doesn’t collapse.
Additionally the structural design will be needed to acquire the building completion certificate which will greatly help you in the future if you want to sell the property .
From there we would set up the site so that the property will be as clean as possible during the job and so that the chimney stack and chimney breast is structrually supported using structural specialist propping and structural support tools.
Next we would remove the chimney breast that has been planned to be removed and dispose of the no longer needed brickwork into a skip outside of the property .
After this has been done we would install the structural support that the structural engineer has calculated is best for the structural integrity of the property .
This would then complete the job and because we are structural specialists we will complete the job with total effectiveness and speed whilst keeping your home completely clean .
Building Regulations Approval For Your Chimney Breast Removal
To remove a chimney breast is to make a structural change to the property which would require building regulations approval from your local building council. Additionally depending on whether or not the chimney breast is shared, the chimney breast removal may necessitate a party wall agreement.
When the structural work is finished, it will be inspected by the local building inspector, and if approved, it will be re-plastered and made good. The council's building inspector will then issue a completion certificate to indicate that everything is safe.
