Client Brief
A homeowner in Ruislip, Hillingdon contacted us to remove chimney breasts on both the ground and first floors. They aimed to free up valuable wall space and give the interior a cleaner, more contemporary feel.
We began with full structural design and calculations to ensure the safe removal of both chimney breasts. Our team also handled all communication with building control to streamline the approval process. Once the structures were removed, the exposed walls were carefully bonded and plastered, then finished with a fresh coat of paint to blend seamlessly with the surrounding décor.
The scope involved structural drawings and calculations, building control management and approval, removal of chimney breasts at ground and first floor, bonding and plastering of exposed walls, and full internal painting of all affected areas.
Completed on time and fully approved by building control, the renovation resulted in a more spacious and polished layout across both floors. Client was extremely pleased with the quality of the finish and the overall transformation.

Recent Testimonials
We had our chimney breast at both the ground and first floor removed by Chimney Engineering. Yahia was very knowledgeable about the entire process and walked us through very step from the building control application, structural design, the removal of the chimney breasts and installation of the structural steels. We would recommend Chimney Engineering to anyone looking to remove their chimney.
Safi’s team did an excellent job removing a chimney breast between our kitchen and lounge. The work was done quickly, efficiently and to a high standard, with most of the structural changes completed in a week.
Really appreciated the on site guidance from Yahia, who made some last minute changes to help with the next stage of our kitchen renovation. Would definitely recommend!
Sandstone Engineering were great - they came to take down a wall at short notice, and were amenable when I had to move the date back by a week because of illness. A team of them came in and took down the wall in one day, doing all the making good and cleaning up in that time as well. Beautifully done and good value. Recommended!
