To obtain a party wall agreement when removing a chimney breast, you need to serve notice to your neighbor(s) regarding the proposed work. The notice should include details of the work, the anticipated start date, and the name of the contractor. The neighbor(s) then have 14 days to respond. If they agree, then you can proceed with the work. If they disagree, then you need to appoint a surveyor to draw up a party wall agreement.
In conclusion, removing a chimney breast can be a significant home improvement project, but it is essential to consider the impact on the shared structure and obtain a party wall agreement if necessary. A
