Chimney Removal in Littlehampton, West Sussex

Usually, yes. A single-storey bungalow needs far less scaffolding, there is only one floor of chimney breast to remove, and roof access is easier, which is why bungalow stacks around Rustington, East Preston and Angmering are often among the most straightforward jobs.

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 Littlehampton.

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.

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.

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.
