The message k
from Sacha contains these words:
Anyway, it's sound advice to consult a competent professional on property
matters. It might even prevent unpleasant surprises, like finding
out after
purchase that someone removed the chimney breasts without providing
adequate
support for the chimney stacks :-)
I have actually known that happen to one person - luckily they weren't
living in the house when most of the chimney arrived in their living room.
I know someone else who had that (though not the falling bit) - but
fortunately, when he came to buy the house he got loads knocked-off the
selling price.
And I was talking to someone else who said they'd removed the
chimneybreast downstairs. I said I hoped it was properly supported and
she replied: "Oh yes, there's a JCB holding it up."
Well, it's got a 'J' in it innit.
