Why Do People Want Chimney Breast Removal/Removals In Sheffield?
People often carry out chimney breast removals because they want a bigger and more open space in their home.
Now to do this there is a variety of ways, one of the most common ways to do this is to remove your chimney breast.
This is especially popular with families who want a larger living room or more bedroom space, as this is where chimney breasts are most commonly located.
Most chimney breasts are old and have been unused for many years, so they not only take up a lot of unnecessary space, but they are also useless in the modern home.
What Are The Ways That Chimney Breasts Are Supported , After A Chimney Breast Removal In Sheffield ?
Firstly, before any structural work is to be carried out a structural engineer must assess the work to be performed and from there the structural engineer must provide us with a structural survey, so we know the correct way to support the loads via the structural calculations. Structural calculations must be carried out so that the work is performed safely and to comply with building regulations.
Sheffield Structural Builders provide the safest and best chimney breast removals, and we suggest that if you are getting a chimney breast removal you comply with the building regulations and use a structural engineer so that if you do decide to sell your property in the future you will have a smoother process. This will be far easier than if you didn’t comply with the building regulations.
One of the specific ways we support the chimney breasts above the one being taken out plus the chimney stack is to install gallows brackets. Gallows brackets would be installed either in the loft space, if all the chimney breasts or the one on the top floor is being taken out, or alternatively the gallows brackets can be installed in the chimney breast above the one being taken out.
Another way we can support the loads above the chimney breast would be to install a lintel. This lintel would be installed above the chimney breast being taken out and therefore structurally support the loads above, which would be the other chimney breast plus the chimney stack. Of course, we would follow what the structural plan specifies from the structural engineer.
