Disused Chimney Removal — Boldon
Half the "chimney leaks" we're called to in Boldon are stacks the customer no longer uses. Once we cost repointing, re-flaunching, new flashing and a cowl, removal is often cheaper — and never needs looking at again. We're regularly on roofs close to the A19, through West Boldon and East Boldon.

Chimney removal in Boldon — FAQs
Do I need planning permission?+
Not usually — chimney removal below the roof line is normally permitted development. In a conservation area or on a listed building it does need consent. We check on the survey.
How long does it take?+
Scaffold day one. Take-down day two. Structural infill and tile match day three. Scaffold down within the week.
Will the tile infill match the rest of the roof?+
On a modern concrete-tile roof, yes — same tile ordered new. On an old clay or slate roof we source reclaimed to match age and colour — that's part of the quote.
Do you cover all of Boldon?+
Yes — NE35 – NE36 and surrounding villages including South Shields and Jarrow.
