01 Chimneys in Shoreham-by-Sea

Shoreham, Lancing and Southwick have Victorian terraces near the harbour and high street, older properties in Old Shoreham, and plenty of 1930s and post-war semis and bungalows.

Chimney Breast Removal in Shoreham-by-Sea

Most Shoreham and Lancing terraces and semis have chimney breasts on the party wall, so a Party Wall Act notice is part of the job. Building Regulations approval goes through Adur & Worthing Councils’ Building Control or an approved inspector.

Chimney Stack Removal in Shoreham-by-Sea

Stacks near the harbour and beach face constant salt air and wind. If yours is unused and the pointing or flashings are failing, removing it ends the maintenance for good.

Chimney removal in Shoreham-by-Sea: your questions

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

Do you cover Lancing and Southwick too?

Yes. As well as Shoreham-by-Sea we cover Lancing, Sompting, Southwick and Shoreham Beach, all within easy reach of our base in Worthing.

How much does chimney removal cost in Shoreham-by-Sea?

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 Shoreham-by-Sea.

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.
