Chimney breast removal definitely requires party wall agreement and if yours above is not being removed it will require steels to support the chimney breast above. You should consult your own party wall surveyor and serve notices on your neighbour and they will be liable for the cost of your surveyor. Also worth contacting the southwark building regs inspector for advice as removing a load bearing wall also requires steels to support the walls above and will require building regs. Has your neighbour shown you the plans to show how they are going to support your walls above? -
I live in a flat. My downstairs neighbour is having various work done including: Chimney breast removal (mine would stay) Internal wall removal (it's a supporting wall and mine is above) Knocking down of external walls that support mine and adding extension. He says his surveyor said this doesn't need a party wall survey because we don't share any party walls. Three surveyors I spoke to said the chimney breasts at a minimum do (party structure). Is there specific law I can quote on this? And if not, what do I do next? (Flats are leasehold, he has permission from them for external work, not sure about internal). He doesn't have council planning consent for the chimney or internal walls. -
Niko fixed my bathroom tap despite the difficulties. Replied to messages promptly. Happy to recommend and will be using him again myself. -
Might be worth discussing with the Citizens Advice Bureau
