we are going to remove the chimneys in our 1930 s semi both are on party walls (we have agreement in place) one in the dinning room going through to the back bedroom and one in the lounge going through into the front bedroom then both joining into one in the loft and out to the stack,we will be removing them one at a time to coinsist with other works ,we have no access to the breast in the loft as the loft has been converted so we want to do lounge/front bedroom first we will be leaving apx 8 inches in the bedroom from the ceiling down and then plan to use gallow brackets and make a feature ,can anyone tell me the process of doing this as in how do we support the chimney that is staying while we remove below and fit brackets ,many thanks

Are you saying that both you and the neighbour intend removing the chimney structure throughout ground and first floor but you both propose leaving the chimney in the loft space?

no the ajoining property is a rented house and the landlord has no intensions of removing any of the chimneys in the future

They will be self supporting at a 45 degree angle (for a short while, long enough for you to get your bracket in), going up from the party wall, (as long as the tying brick is not fractured) remove enough to get the brackets in and relay any bricks that fall out above the bracket. Then you can remove the rest at your own speed.
Hope that makes sense..
