01 Chimneys in Horsham

Horsham has Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre, inter-war and post-war semis, and older cottages in the surrounding villages, some still roofed in heavy Horsham stone slabs.

Chimney Breast Removal in Horsham

For terraces and semis in Horsham, a Party Wall Act notice is usually needed if the chimney breast sits on the shared wall. Building Regulations approval goes through Horsham District Council’s Building Control or an approved inspector.

? 03 FAQ

Chimney removal in Horsham: your questions

Can't see your question? Call 07957 072703 and ask.

Do you cover Crawley as well as Horsham?

Yes. We cover Horsham, Crawley and the villages around them, including Southwater, Broadbridge Heath, Warnham and Billingshurst.

How much does chimney removal cost in Horsham?

There is no single price because jobs vary so much. The main factors are scaffolding, how many floors are involved, whether the stack stays or goes, and whether steel support and an engineer’s calculations are needed. Send us photos of the chimney and we will give you a fixed quote for your house in Horsham.

Do I need permission to remove a chimney?

Removing a chimney breast needs Building Regulations approval because it is structural. Planning permission is not normally needed unless the house is listed or the stack is visible in a conservation area. If the chimney is on a party wall, you must also serve notice on your neighbour under the Party Wall Act.

Do I need a structural engineer to remove a chimney?

If part of the chimney is left above the section you remove, usually yes, because Building Control will want calculations for the support. If the whole chimney comes out from the ground floor to the roof, often not.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, most quotes can be given from photos of the room and the outside of the chimney. If anything needs checking in person, we arrange a visit.
