Before & After Chimney Removal
A good chimney removal should leave a clean roofline outside and flat, seamless finishes inside.
If you have project photos, this is where they shine.
Why Remove a Chimney?
- Space Saving: Flat sitting room and bedroom walls.
- Leaks & damp: failed flashing or damaged stacks can cause ongoing water ingress.
- Heat loss & drafts: unused chimneys can pull heat and cause cold spots.
- Reclaim space: chimney breasts can take up valuable internal room.
- Safety: unstable brickwork can become a hazard over time.
- Renovation: modern layouts often suit cleaner lines and open space.
How Chimney Removal Works
- Assessment: we check structure, access, and the safest removal plan.
- Protection: floors and rooms are protected to keep disruption low.
- Removal: chimney is dismantled carefully (full stack or partial removal).
- Roof make-good: roofline is sealed and weatherproofed properly.
- Internal finish: blockwork/plastering to achieve flat walls and ceilings.
- Clean-up: debris removed and area left tidy.
What Affects Chimney Removal Cost?
Pricing depends on the chimney type and access. The main factors include:
- Full stack removal vs partial removal
- Chimney breast removal (one floor vs two floors)
- Roof height, access, scaffolding requirements
- Roof repair complexity (tiles/slate/flat roof details)
- Internal plastering scope and finish level
For accurate pricing, we recommend a quick look (photos can often help too).
Chimney Removal FAQs
Can you remove just the chimney stack above the roof?
Yes — in many cases a partial removal is possible. We’ll confirm the best approach after assessment.
Will you repair the roof after the chimney comes down?
Yes — the roof must be sealed and weatherproofed properly once the stack is removed.
Can you remove the chimney breast inside the house?
Often yes, depending on structure and layout. We’ll advise on the safest method and finish options.
Will the internal walls and ceilings be flat after?
That’s the goal — blockwork/plastering can leave clean, flat finishes when completed correctly.
