Hi, wondered if anyone understood chimney removal buildings regs? We removed an ENTIRE chimney top to bottom (including the stacks, breast) - all that is left is a very tiny bit at the bottom (actually in the garage). This created no structural issues that we could discern, and builder didn't think any consent needed (so we did not get this). I've since started to worry about this although I still cannot see a structural issue and its a few years ago with no obvious problems since. Obviously if I'd removed the breast and left the stack on top there would be an issue, but we have not done that. Should we have got buildings control involved and if so how best to fix the issue now? Will I be prosecuted for this [read scary things on the internet...] I do have an anxiety disorder (mild) so not sure if I am just worrying or if there is a real problem. Thanks for any advice.
