Wellington Chimney Removal

Over time, rigid brick and concrete chimneys develop hairline cracks from thermal expansion (heat from the sun + cold winter nights), this combined with strong winds and earthquakes gradually weakens the structure until it is no longer safe to leave it to its own devices. (You might be very surprised to see just how much your old chimney sways in the wind next time there is a storm! If you decide to check it out, view it from a safe distance!)

Falling chimneys have been responsible for several serious injuries and deaths during earthquakes and storms in New Zealand.

We can replace your brick/concrete chimney with a light and strong one, so you can still use your fireplace as normal.

If you choose to have your chimney completely removed, we will patch the hole where it was to ensure your roof is watertight and still looks great!
