Increasing head height in upstairs rooms
The upstairs rooms in our cottage have very low ceilings. I'm wondering whether it's possible to remove them and use the loft space as the extra height. Before I engage a local builder to advise me, is this something that can be done in general?

Damp patch / removing top room chimney breast
Hi there I have a persistent damp patch directly in the middle of the chimney breast in a third floor bedroom of my old 1905 house. We have had lots of roof work done and lots of roofers come and go, not having a definite answer as to why it's there. We have since had the stack removed under the tile line but the patch is still there. There are no obvious leaks and we've had ridge tiles pointed, re-tiled the full area around it, and bricks sealed (amongst other things) and spent a lot of time and money we don't have and still it comes back a few hours after it has rained. We are thinking of removing the chimney breast now entirely from that room in the hope that sorts it. As the stack is gone, is this a relatively straight forward job? How much would I expect to pay? Alternatively, does anyone know why/how this moisture is getting in and going to the centre of the chimney breast?! Thanks!
