The chimney is at the corner of the 2 rooms, which is protruded at both rooms and both protrusions are uneven. It is located in-between 2 rooms, forming kind of an uneven triangle at the corner of both rooms, going all the way up to the first floor/Loft

Has your phone not got a LiDAR camera on it?

Update: Probably this will end the thread. Structural engineer visited just now and indicated that the cost will outweigh the space gains. So decided stick to the original plan of kitchen extension without chimney removal.

Thanks for your various valuable opinions though!

Crazy what happens when you ask a professional instead a forum full of random losers innit.

What you need to do is printout every thread in general and place it in the chimney breast before you board it up. I'm sure in a 100 years someone will be delighted to find these and can enjoy the light hearted frivolous conversations we also enjoy.

If you discover that the chimney breast you want to remove is real, then you will almost certainly need to contact a structural engineer.

Actual chimney breasts form part of the structure of a house – once removed, the addition of support beams may need to be incorporated to support any masonry above.

The services of a structural engineer are essential in ensuring the safe removal of a real chimney breast. The structural engineer will need to define a method of work, perform various calculations and establish what supports, if any, are required.

The method of work and all designs will need to be submitted to the local building control office for approval prior to any work commencing.

When a thread parodies itself, there's no need.

But he's from a poor family?

Poor educational standards for sure.
