Partition Wall and Chimney

pleasant Co. · 2024-07-30 09:36:55

Planning on doing a small bit of work on one of the upstairs bedrooms, this bedroom has a chimney breast jutting out as the gas fireplace is directly downstairs. Was hoping to add a partition wall up as far as the chimney breast but unsure if there'd be fire safety issues in doing that? advice much appreciated.

I’m changing the shape of the en-suite to better utilise the available space, this requires me to butt up to the chimney breast to elongate that space
