Is it possible/allowed to do this?

The idea is to tear down the existing chimney to the floor on the upper floor, then splice on a 5m corten steel pipe to get past the second floor and over the roof by a good bit.

The idea with this is to save space while also having a nice-looking pipe instead of a large chimney stack to look at.

Best regards, Micke..

Only your local chimney sweep can answer that.

In some districts, it's okay, in others not... :(
 
Got a response. It should be perfectly fine in my region, Jkpg and surrounding areas. Spoke with Torpa ventilation och brandskyddskontroll AB.

Now I don't have to deal with an obstructive chimney breast on the upper floor, starting to take it down immediately. YES!!

How much space do you gain from this now? If it's a giant wall at the moment, maybe it will be a win. But if the channel is fairly typical, half-brick/full-brick, you might need a 150 - 200 mm pipe + 60 mm netting + 100 mm air gap and finally a partition of minerit. That becomes about 450-500 mm in width for such a construction.

But do you maybe have 5 other channels that are also being removed or?
 
I'm saving well on this procedure.. The chimney is about 130 years old. Stone set..
 
  • Old 130-year-old chimney with exposed, crumbling bricks and mortar, partially covered by peeling plaster, next to floral patterned wallpaper.
  • A 130-year-old, stone-set chimney partially exposed during renovation, showing deteriorated and darkened stones amidst surrounding plaster and wallpaper.
