Milbarn Construction are specialists in removing Chimney breasts. Based in Essex, we have successfully removed chimney breasts in many local properties including Brentwood, Upminster, Hornchurch, Chelmsford, Kent and Gidea Park, helping to create that extra area of space in your room. There are various things to consider when removing your chimney breast, remember in a lot of cases, the chimney is ‘the spine of you home’, simply knocking it down could be detrimental to the structural integrity of your property, it’s just not worth the risk.

Milbarn Construction is backed by a 5,000,000.00 pounds liability policy. We can offer you a complete package when removing your chimney.  We will visit you to discuss your requirements and assess your chimney. We will discuss the options with you, find out how much of the chimney you wish to remove, (it may be just in one room only or the entire chimney) before going back to our office and preparing a detailed quotation which we will email or send out to you. If you decide to go ahead with the work, we will discuss a start date for the work to begin and we will make contact with your local council. Your local council must be made aware that you are removing the Chimney breast, whether its part of the chimney, or all of it. The work needs to carried out under a ‘Building notice’ (this does not require planning permission) Your local council will assess our work and sign a completion certificate at the end to confirm the chimney was removed acceptably and to structural specification. The council will also charge a fee for this (usually less than 500.00 pounds), which we will highlight in our quotation. Once the chimney has been removed our plasterers will plaster your wall and make it look like new again, ready for decoration. All waste is removed off of site daily by our own vehicles and disposed of at our yard, so your driveway will not be taken up by skips. Your house will be dust sheeted and protected throughout the work and left clean and tidy on completion.

If you are looking to have your chimney removed but are worried about the mess it could create, or the cost, give us a call or send us an email.
