Yes. A lintel would need to be put in place to carry the brickwork above the opening.

Dan · Answer

Yes of course, you would need a a steel and likely a structural engineer to specify the size based on the load that is being taken from above. This can be bridged on Gallow brackets chemically anchored into the wall. A simple lintel would not suffice.

Hi Donna, yes it is and I'm more than happy to help you with it

1.Structural Integrity: Consult a structural engineer to assess load-bearing capacity and recommend adjustments.
2.Debris Plate and Separation: Install a debris plate to separate the kitchen from the chimney, complying with building regulations.
3.Chimney Liner: Consider lining the chimney with a solid fuel liner for safety.
4.Space and Aesthetics: Decide between maintaining the “built-in” look or using faux structures from kitchen manufacturers .
