    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, it’s possible to remove just the internal section while leaving the external stack intact. However, proper chimney breast support must be installed to maintain structural integrity, and the work must comply with UK Building Regulations.

    In most cases, planning permission isn’t required for internal chimney breast removal, but building regulation approval is mandatory. Our team handles all necessary documentation and ensures full compliance from start to finish. 

    A structural survey determines whether your chimney breast supports floors, walls, or roof elements. If it is load-bearing, our engineers will design a safe chimney breast support system before removal to keep your home structurally sound.

    If the chimney stack removal is included, we’ll safely dismantle it and seal the roof area to prevent leaks. If retainedwe’ll reinforce it from below to ensure long-term stability and protection against weather exposure.

    Yes. While we don’t carry out construction, our experts provide detailed structural plans and design solutions to safely guide builders through the chimney breast removal process, ensuring compliance with UK building standards.
