Professional Chimney Removal Services in Putney

Several critical aspects determine safe chimney removal including the structural condition of the chimney stack, its integration with the main roof structure, proximity to neighbouring properties, and the building’s age and construction method. Our specialists assess the chimney’s load-bearing function, examine surrounding structural elements, and evaluate potential risks before developing appropriate removal strategies.

Most chimney removal projects in New Malden typically require between 3-7 working days depending on the chimney’s size, structural complexity, and weather conditions. Simple domestic chimney removals usually complete within 3-4 days, whilst larger or more complex structures may require additional time for safe dismantling and restoration work.

We prepare comprehensive structural drawings, safety assessments, and method statements required by local building control departments, ensuring full regulatory compliance throughout your project.
