The decommissioning leaflet linked from the above page:

The illustration of a back boiler installation shows that is not acting as
structural support for any of the chimney brickwork.

Is that what I'm likely to find in this 1950's house enabling the boiler to
be taken out without risk of some of the chimney liner brickwork coming
down, or at least needing support ?
