My chimney stack is in the centre of the house, has already been removed down below roof level and I want to remove down through my bedroom now and then, at a later date, down through the lounge to remove it completely.
as long as there are no bricks above the cieling level it is pretty much straight forward but very messy. obviously there will be plaster work to be done and some extra timber to be put in the floor. but overall quite easy.
