Chimney breast/party wall

The easiest way to deal with this would probably be for your sister to put in the windows of both of the property's and burn them down.

Isn't the expression 'torch the fucker' more appropriate in this instance.?

Phrases like kick the back doors in - torch the fucker and claim on the insurance are universal on BM lol

Seriously though no way would I remove a back to back chimney stack in an old house, I'd expect the house to immediately collapse. Or huge cracks in walls over time.

I’m sure there is a thread on this already but can’t find it, need some advice, my sisters neighbour has starting work on building a dormer and has told her he will be taking down the shared chimney stack. Is planning permission required for this work? and what are the potential problems for my sister if he takes down the chimney? Any advice is much appreciated blues!

Tell the guy to fuck off

I saw a short film on the internet recently where what started as a small damp patch ended up with a right mess and even the back doors were in a state by the end.
