Hi, I have attached a picture of my problem. I am going to fit a new kitchen but this big concrete block is in my way. I believe it's the flue from the old floor standing boiler which has been upgraded to a combi the other side of the kitchen. As it goes all the way up to the chimney I don't want to remove it with out some advice. I was thinking of just knocking it off and then plaster boarding etc to make look good on the inside and then put either a vent on the outlet on the chimney at the other end for ventilation or either fully block it off with a balloon system or expanding foam so water cannot enter the chimney from the rain etc....
it it can't be a support surely for the chimney as there's nothing underneath it? It is a semi detached house and that is the wall adjoing the neighbours.
hopefully given enough info for you to help me, I have more pics if it would help....
cheers!
