Remove the upstairs chimney breast

Question

Hi, 
I'm not sure if it's a chimney specialist, or a builder  who has to do this.
But basically the house is a semi detached 
It has a chimney in the living room and the room next to it as well ( kitchen) 
Upstairs two room and they both have the breast
However in the kitchen, they have removed the chimney breast.

My question and quote is 
Can I get the chimney breast  in the bedroom upstairs removed? And how much would it cost.

 Separately the one in the living room and the room above it master room , canthe upstairs be removed if the downstairs is  going to be replaced for electric?

Hi yes this is possible to do and will just need some structural calculations and steel work to support the chimney stack in the loft space in order to fully remove the breasts from the house.

Abel · Answer

yes, what you want to cut is possible and the number spoils the strength of the structure... the remaining gap can be built in its place and well insulated... more details and explanations can be given right on the spot in the house... thank you!

Yes you can remove the chimney breasts upstairs but you will have to engage a structural engineer to calculate what is required to support the chimney stack above ceiling line. Generally a U.B ( steel) spanning from front of house wall to the spine wall.
Also a building notice is reqd.

You might need a steel to hold the front of the stack out if your leaving the stack in the lift and on the roof

1200 for labour, 2 days to remove the chimney and 2 day for skim and painting and replacing around 5 to 6days for this work
