Tolworth Chimney Removal Solutions for Your Property
A lot of homes in Tolworth were built in the 1930s and many still have chimney stacks that have not been used in years. These stacks take a battering from the weather. Over time they crack, lean and start to let water in. Removing them properly stops those problems for good.
We take the whole stack down, make good the roof where it sat and leave your property weathertight. We deal with the waste, sort the paperwork and make sure everything is done to the right standard. No corners cut, no mess left behind.
What Our Tolworth Chimney Removal Services Providers Do
Chimney removal is the process of taking a disused chimney stack down and making the roof good again. Most stacks in Tolworth have not had a fire or boiler connected to them for decades. They sit there unused while the mortar crumbles and the pointing fails.
Removing a stack properly takes more than just knocking it down. The roof needs to be tied back in, the internal breast may need attention and the work needs to be signed off by building control. We handle all of that so you do not have to think about it.

Tolworth Chimney Removal Services Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission to remove a chimney in Tolworth?
Most chimney removals in Tolworth do not need planning permission. You do need building regulations approval though. We take care of that as part of the job.
How long does chimney removal take?
Most jobs take two to three days. A larger or more complex stack might take a day or two longer. We will give you a clear timeframe before we start.
Will you repair my roof after the stack comes down?
Yes. Making good the roof is part of what we do. We tile it back in, fit felt and batten and make sure it is properly weathertight before we leave.
Is chimney removal messy?
It produces rubble and dust. We use sheeting to keep mess contained and remove all waste from your property at the end of the job.
Do you work on 1930s semi-detached houses?
Yes. Most of the homes we work on in Tolworth are exactly that type of property. We know how they are built and what the roof structure looks like underneath the stack.
Can I get a quote without committing?
Yes. We will come out, look at the job and give you a price. There is no obligation to go ahead.
Will removing the chimney affect my walls inside?
It can do if there is a chimney breast running through the property. We will look at this during the survey and advise you on what is involved before any work starts.
What happens to the rubble?
We take it all away. You will not be left with a pile of bricks in your garden.
Do you use scaffolding?
Yes. Working safely on a roof requires proper access. We erect scaffolding, do the job properly and take it down once we are finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We guarantee our workmanship. We will also give you details of any material warranties before the job starts.
What if my chimney has an active flue?
If the flue is still connected to anything we need to know before we start. We will assess this during the survey and advise on what needs to be disconnected or capped before removal.
Can you match the tiles when you repair the roof?
We do our best to match existing tiles. On older properties this is not always a perfect match but we will always use the closest option available and discuss it with you first.
How soon can you start?
Get in touch and we will let you know our current availability. We try to get out for surveys quickly and book jobs in as soon as we can.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. West London & Surrey Roofing & Building Services carries full public liability insurance. You are covered throughout the job.
