Chimney Removal Project | Tring, Aylesbury
Project Overview
We recently completed a full chimney removal project in Tring, near Aylesbury, helping the homeowner resolve long-standing issues caused by a deteriorating chimney stack. Like many older properties in the area, the chimney was no longer in use and had become a source of leaks, internal damage and structural concern.
Our experienced roofing team carried out a safe, controlled removal of the chimney, followed by full roof reinstatement to ensure the property was left watertight, structurally sound and visually seamless.
Why the Chimney Needed Removing
During inspection, the chimney stack showed clear signs of failure, including:
Crumbling masonry and failed mortar joints
Defective lead flashing allowing water ingress
Internal damp and water penetration around the chimney breast
Structural movement where the chimney passed through the roof
In cases like this, chimney removal is often the most cost-effective and long-term solution compared to ongoing repairs.
Our Chimney Removal Process
This project involved partial chimney removal below roof level, ensuring the structure was safely dismantled while protecting the rest of the property.
Works included:
Full scaffolding for safe access
Careful dismantling of the chimney stack
Removal of redundant flue and chimney components
Strengthening and trimming of roof timbers where required
Installation of new breathable roofing membrane
New treated battens fitted to current standards
Re-tiling to perfectly match the existing roof
Weatherproofing and finishing for a clean, uniform appearance
Once complete, there was no visible sign that a chimney had ever been present.
End Result
The finished roof has completely revitalised the property – offering long-lasting protection, improved insulation, and a clean, traditional aesthetic that perfectly complements the home’s character. The new red clay tiles provide a striking, classic finish that will stand the test of time.
