New Malden Chimney Removal Solutions for Your Property
A lot of homes in New Malden have chimneys that are no longer used. Old stacks can become a problem over time. Loose brickwork, cracked mortar and failed flashing all let water into your roof. Removing the stack is often the most straightforward fix.

What Our New Malden Chimney Removal Services Providers Do
Unused chimneys cause problems. Rainwater gets in through cracked pots, failed flashing and loose mortar. That water then works its way into your roof structure and ceilings. Left alone it gets worse and more expensive to deal with.
Removing the stack solves the problem at the source. There is nothing left to leak. It also reduces the load on your roof and removes a maintenance point you no longer need.

New Malden Chimney Removal Services Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission to remove a chimney in New Malden?
In most cases you do not need planning permission for chimney removal. However if your home is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you will need to check with the local authority first. We can advise you on this when we visit.
How long does chimney removal take?
Most jobs take one to two days. Larger stacks or more complex roof repairs can take a little longer. We will give you a clear timescale before we start.
Will there be a lot of mess?
We take care to protect your property throughout the job. Rubble is bagged and removed from site. We sweep up and leave the area tidy before we go.
Is building regulation approval needed?
For full stack removals that affect the structure of the roof, building regulation sign-off is usually required. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with the local authority on your behalf.
What happens to the hole left in the roof?
Once the stack is removed, the gap in the roof is fully made good. We repair or replace the roof covering and make sure the area is completely watertight.
Can you remove a chimney that is still partially in use?
If a flue is still connected to a gas appliance, it cannot be removed until that appliance is disconnected by a Gas Safe engineer. We can advise you on the steps needed before we begin.
How much does chimney removal cost?
Cost depends on the height of the stack, how much roof repair is needed and what access equipment is required. We provide a fixed quote after a site visit so you know exactly what you are paying.
Will removing the chimney affect my home insurance?
You should let your insurer know about any structural changes. Removing a chimney is a permanent structural alteration so it is worth a quick call to confirm your cover stays in place.
Can you match the roof tiles after the removal?
We do our best to source tiles that match your existing roof. New Malden has a variety of roof types and tile styles and we carry a stock of common types. We will be upfront with you if an exact match is not available.
Do you work on terraced houses?
Yes. A lot of the work we do is on Victorian and Edwardian terraces which are common across New Malden and the surrounding streets. We know how to handle shared chimney stacks and party wall situations.
What is the difference between full removal and below-roof removal?
Full removal takes the entire stack out including the section inside the loft and at ceiling level. Below-roof removal takes down just the part above the tiles. The right option depends on your property and what you plan to do with the space inside.
Do you dispose of all the old brickwork?
Yes. All rubble and materials from the demolition are removed from your property. We do not leave waste on site.
How do I know if my chimney actually needs removing rather than repairing?
If the chimney is no longer in use and is causing damp or structural concerns, removal is usually the better long-term option. If it is still in use and structurally sound, repair may be enough. We will give you an honest assessment when we visit.
Can you work on chimney removal in winter?
We work throughout the year. Some masonry work is better done in milder conditions but we plan around the weather and use protective measures where needed to make sure the job is done properly.
