The Party Wall Act 1996.
If no notice is served, apply for an injunction which will stop the works until the PWA is followed. Costs will be recoverable from the neighbour.
This work should require the permission of the landlord building owner. Enquire with them what permission has been applied for and given. Remind them of their responsibilities and liabilities under your contract and common law.

Is the chimney stack being removed, a shared one?
Yes it's all one chimney, so they're removing the bit that sits directly under mine. And there's two of them that they're removing.
Get an injunction sorted, without further delay.
What a nightmare. From my dipping in and out reading over the years removing chimney breast undermines the structural integrity of period buildings. I know people do it though. It's the equivalent of filing down your own teeth to put on veneers. Looks good, but based on making irreparable damage first. But what do I know....
