Chimney Breast Removal in London

Removing a chimney breast gains floor space, especially in kitchens and small bedrooms. The masonry above still needs supporting, so we design the support, get approval and make good afterwards.

Questions we're often asked
Can I remove just the ground-floor breast?

Yes, if the breast above is properly supported. That is what the structural design is for.

What about the shared chimney with next door?

A shared stack usually means a Party Wall notice, which we handle.
