Service Overview
A chimney breast can take up a surprising amount of room, especially in older London houses where the original layout no longer works for modern family life. Removing it can free up useful floor space, open up a kitchen or living room, and make a wider refurbishment much easier to plan.
Before anything comes down, we check how the chimney is built and what remains above it. Where support is needed, the work is carried out to the structural engineer’s design and the relevant Building Regulations requirements.
How We Can Help
We manage the work from the first site visit through to the final clean-up. That includes protecting the surrounding rooms, putting temporary support in place where required, removing the masonry in a controlled way, installing the specified steelwork and making good the walls, ceiling and floor.
We also coordinate the job with your engineer or building control inspector so the structural work fits properly into the rest of your renovation.
