hi everyone . i have a chimney in my house which needs to be removed fully from reception from bedroom and loft and top of roof . its is a semidetatch house with no neighbour interference . chimney is in the middle of the house . Council said you dont require any paperwork or structural calculation if you removing chimney fully and no party wall with neighbour. Today builder came in making me afraid sayinv that he will not start work without his own structural engineer dounb calcs. May be he want to make money . Do any one know that we need any support or beams or engineer for anything .
