Chimney Breast Removal - How we work

Why do you need Chimney Breast Removals?

A chimney breast forms part of the structure of a house and needs to be removed, both with the right planning and preparation in place. Furthermore, unless the entire chimney is being removed, from the fireplace to the roof stack, suitable support beams will need to be incorporated, to support any masonry above and avoid either structural distress or damage. In addition, special attention needs to be used when the chimney breast is either on a party wall with a neighbouring property or where the chimney breast of an upper floor is going to be removed whilst leaving a working fire in the room below – in the latter case, partial removal is possible; however, a smaller chimney breast for the fire below must be left in place.

The floor will need to be ‘made good’ once the chimney breast has been removed. This could mean matching in floorboards (which we can also do) or changing the flooring completely if you have carpet or tiles and so on. Our Chimney Breast Removal team will complete all work to the highest standard and finish.

What is the first step?

Our Structural Engineer will provide necessary structural calculations following a site visit to your property. This will allow us to establish what supports are required.

All work is then carried out to the approved designs and the local building control officer will be invited to inspect and pass the work completed.

Chimney Breast Removals can organise all stages of the process, which includes both the planning and construction stage.

Customer Says

Best thing we could have done as, having the chimney breast removed from our lounge and bedroom, has given us so much more space. The team at Chimney Breast Removal were great, very reliable. Thanks to Shaun for all his help with understanding building regulations and organising the job. We also had our floorboards made good around the old fire place area and then the whole floor sanded and varnished so it looks like a brand new room.

Jo, Customer

I wish we had done this years ago as it has given us a much better space on the ground floor so that we have more room and the furniture can be been arranged in a much better way. Would definitely recommend Chimney Breast Removal as they guys know what they are doing, advised us on everything, did a good job and completed it very quickly so we are very happy.
