What a great job for the “British Working Man”. No complications unless he forgets to temporarily block up any hearths. Then the brown stuff (in this case soot, debris and possibly the odd brick) will really hit the fan!
The real expertise is re-roofing over the hole he leaves. Ideally, he will use matching slates or tiles and you’ll never know you had a chimney…Good luck with that one!
