Full Removal or Down to Roof Level

Taking the stack down to roof level is the quicker option and the more common one. The brickwork comes off, the hole is closed up and the roof is tiled across. Full removal takes out the breast inside the house as well and needs more planning, including support for anything above.

Making the Roof Good Afterwards

Closing the roof properly is the part that matters. New rafters and battens go in across the opening, membrane is lapped in with the existing felt, and matching tiles finish the slope. Done well you cannot tell there was ever a chimney there.

Checks Before the Work Starts

We check whether the stack is shared with next door, whether anything relies on it for support and what happens to the flue that is left. Where structural work is involved we will tell you if you need a structural engineer or building control before we begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need permission to remove a chimney in Bordon?

Removing a chimney stack is usually permitted development, but it is often notifiable to building control because it affects the structure. Listed buildings and conservation areas are different again. We flag what your property is likely to need at the quote stage so nothing catches you out.

How long does chimney removal take?

Taking a stack down to roof level and closing the roof is generally one to two days once scaffolding is up. A full removal through the house takes longer because of the internal work and making good afterwards. We give you a day by day plan before we start.

What happens to a shared chimney between two houses?

A shared stack cannot be removed without your neighbour's agreement, and party wall rules usually apply. In that case we look at repairing or rebuilding your half instead, or capping your flue. We will tell you on site whether the stack looks shared and what your options are.
