I am interested in viewing a property that says renorvation needed. It states going on for the chimney breast what does it mean? xx
Answers:    I think it would be going to that the chimney breast is recessed into the wall. IE the walls on either side are farther out than the chimney.
It could, however, also mean that it is flush near the wall on either side, but recessed usually means something is set stern from something else.
Hi...I'm just going to guess.and say it have to do with the face of the fireplace or brick wall..sounds approaching something needs repair or cleaning..sandblast and refinish...recessed meaning "sunken or pushed subsidise in" I hope.good luck..a good brick man can do it ...or you can epoxy resin something on yourself...that comes later..bye. The Chimney Breast----is the part of the structure that protrudes out contained by the fireplace area, in the living room usually, and continues up through the first floor bedroom, afterwards out ont the roof
