Chimney removal from roof

What exactly does removing a chimney from the roof involve?

Safe and prepared work, that is WijSlopenNu

Removing a chimney from roof means that (part of) the chimney above the roof surface is expertly demolished and disposed of. This is common in homes where the chimney is no longer in use, leaking, or causing problems with the roof.

Since a chimney is part of both the roof structure and the facade, this job requires a careful and safe approach. Think of working at height, preventing leaks and neatly repairing the roof. WijSlopenNu ensures that the chimney is safely removed and the roof is left waterproof and tight.

Why have a chimney removed from the roof?

The most common reasons at a glance

A chimney on the roof can cause more disadvantages than advantages in the long term. Common reasons for removing a chimney from the roof include:

Leakage or damage to the roof
Old chimneys and pilot slabs are a common cause of roof leaks.

The chimney is no longer in use
In modern heating systems, the chimney has often become redundant.

Avoid maintenance costs
Maintaining or repairing a chimney at height can be costly.

Sustainability of the home
With insulation, solar panels or roof renovation, a chimney often gets in the way.

Safety
Loose masonry or outdated structures can pose a hazard in the event of a storm or wear and tear.

Removing the chimney from the roof prevents future problems and keeps the roof in good condition.

How does WijSlopenNu tackle the removal of a chimney on the roof?

No risks, but a clear method

Every situation is different. That's why we always start with an inspection. Among other things, we look at:

• whether it is the upper part of the chimney or complete removal

• the condition of the masonry and lead

• the roof structure and roofing

• what it takes to properly repair the roof

Based on this, we determine the right approach:

Partial removal (above roof surface)
In many cases, we only remove the part of the chimney above the roof. This is often the most efficient solution and avoids unnecessary work indoors.

Complete removal through the roof
If necessary, the chimney can be further dismantled, always taking into account the construction of the House.

Restoration of the roof
After removal, we provide a waterproof finish to the roof, preventing leaks and making the roof look neat.

Afterwards, we leave the roof safe, clean and ready for use.

How much does it cost to remove a chimney from the roof?

Depending on the situation, always clear in advance

The cost of removing a chimney from the roof varies by home. Factors at play include:

• height and accessibility of the roof

• size of the chimney

• type of roofing

• necessary repairs

Because no two situations are the same, we always work with a non-binding tailor-made offer. After a short inspection, we can indicate exactly what is needed and what the work costs, so that you have complete clarity in advance.
