How We Get Chimney Breast Removals Done Properly in London
At Structural Build Engineering, chimney breast removals in London are part of our daily work. From the initial survey to the final plaster finish, every phase of the job is handled entirely by our in-house team.
We know London homes extremely well. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace with a shared chimney or a Georgian property with solid brickwork—we’ve seen it all. Understanding the structure lets us plan properly, avoid surprises, and complete your project safely and quickly. Most removals are finished in just 3–5 days.
Complete removal inside and outside, including the external stack above the roof. We make good to the affected ceilings, floors, and roof.
Remove the interior part to gain space without needing a Party Wall agreement in many cases.

Step 1
Our engineers visit your property to inspect the chimney, take exact measurements for steel supports, and plan the safest approach.
We submit Building Control applications before we start and ensure the first inspection is booked early so there are no long waits.
Step 3
The team removes the chimney breast safely, installing steel beams where required to keep the structure stable.
Step 4
Walls and floors are made good and the space left clean and ready for use and decorating.

We recently had our new worktops installed by Purestone Worktops and the entire experience was excellent. The team was organised, respectful, and worked with great care during measuring and fitting. They kept us informed at every stage, which made the process stress free. The final result looks sleek, modern, and finished to a very high standard.

As experienced chimney removal contractors, we comply with the Building Regulations 2010. A local Building Control officer inspects the work to ensure safety and quality, including:
If your chimney shares a wall with a neighbour, a Party Wall Agreement may be necessary. We can handle this on your behalf to prevent disputes and delays.
Internal chimney breast removal usually doesn’t require permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas, or full stack removal may require approval. Checking early avoids fines or delays.
