The standard demolition price includes opening up your fireplace to the original sizing, preparing the base and removal of all rubble. The majority of houses will only require a standard demolition (£250) however, some demolitions can be extremely large. In these rare cases, the price can go up to £300 or more.

Sometimes brick arches are damaged over the years and have to be replaced with a lintel to keep the chimney breast structure sound. Unfortunately we cannot gauge exactly what a demolition will entail until opening it up. In most cases widening will not be necessary and the original builders opening is normally always large enough to accommodate the majority of burners. If you do require a new lintel we include this at no extra charge.

Demolitions can be messy work and we take care to make sure we do not fill your house with dust. Using plastic sheeting to cover your furniture, ground sheets and a dust extraction hoover we aim to keep the mess to an absolute minimum. However, we always recommend clearing out the room as much as possible especially electronics such as TVs.
