Chimney breast removal in Lymm
Removing a chimney breast in Lymm? We take out the breast and support the stack above on engineer-designed steel, then make good ready for decoration.
Lymm mixes period cottages and village houses around the Dam and the Cross with larger 1930s and modern detached homes on the edges of the village, and both end up wanting the same thing: the back of the house opened into one kitchen-living space.
Taking out a chimney breast can free up valuable floor space in a kitchen, living room or bedroom. When the breast is removed but the chimney above stays, the remaining masonry must be supported — usually on a steel beam designed by an engineer.
