Restoration & Refurbishment

Removal of chimney stack and chimney breasts in bedrooms

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.50 PM

Hi My Builders, I am looking for some advice on some restoration and renovation work on my property. I live in an end of terrace house. I am looking to remove two chimney stacks, that is not shared with my neighbour. In addition I have two bedrooms, that I am looking to remove the chimney breast from. I am slightly confused by Planning Permission and Building Regulations information and not sure what other aspects I need to consider - the big wish is just to have some square rooms and remove redundant chimney stacks. Can anyone provide advice on permissions. Thanks in advance My Builder!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

hi, if your house isn't listed or in a conservation area etc then to remove internal chimney breasts and stacks you don't need planning permission, but you do need building regulations approval.
