removal of chimney breast
i wish to remove a chimney breast at my property.
i am a confident good d i yer and understand the method of introducing "gallowes brackets"to support the remaining stack. the only question i have is as follows. The building regulations state that there must be a 25 mm section of 3 ; 1 mortar mix between the ramining stack and the 6 mm seel plate in top of the brackets. with this in mind at what level do you temporary support the stack with the steel props. do you bang in the props in the next couse of bricks above. if any kind person could give me the answer i will be most gretful. regards t.morgan London |

In England and Wales, under the Party Wall etc. Act (1996), the written consent of the owners of a neighbouring house must be received before some projects can begin. Consider taking the advice of a surveyor with experience of this legislation. |

I don't know if this is an urban myth or not, though its supposed genesis is close enough for me to check directly, but apparently someones' neighbours decided to enlarge their room by removing their half of an adjoining wall. presumably without consent and producing, I would imagine, an unhappy state of affair. -- John Cartmell john@ followed by finnybank.com 0845 006 8822 Qercus magazine FAX +44 (0)8700-519-527 www.finnybank.com Qercus - the best guide to RISC OS computing |
