Gas safe engineer needed for chimney breast removal?
Is a gas safe registered engineer required for a chimney breast removal or would it depend on different factors? If so, what might it depend on?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hello. You would normally only need a Gas Safe registered engineer if you had the gas supply to a previously installed gas fire or one currently installed within the chimney area."

"No a gas saftey engineer is not required, as long as there is not a working boiler and the chimney is still in use ,a good builder will be able to do it"

"Not for the removal of the chimney breast itself. However I’f you have a back boiler in the fire place then yes gas safe engineer to isolate & remove"

"Not for a chimney breast removal however quite often you will find a gas supply for an old fireplace which has been capped. This would need removing by a gas safe engineer for a nominal fee."

"Generally gasmen only have knowledge of gaspipes so consult a qualified builder."

"No unless there's is gas behind the chimney breast that requires capping. But a general builder or handyman would be sufficient. But keep in mind you may need building regs to comply with as you more than likely have to install a lintel."
