How much to remove a ‘fake’ chimney

Question

We have a fake brick chimney stack on our property which was apparently required for planning regulations when it was built twenty years ago.  The pointing and flashing are now in a poor state of repair and we wondered how much it would cost to remove it as it serves no purpose.  Also would we need to get planning permission to remove it?

Guessing that its a simple brick stack for up to two 9" flues, and access isn't any particular problem I think this job would cost up to £2k.

If planning stated that the stack had to be there on the original build then I suspect it still would be subject to the same rules. If you don't check for permissions you may be told to put it back again! Stranger things have been known. Might cost less to keep it going.

I would do this Job for £1200 and that is taking the chimney down to roof level felt and batten it in and slate or tile it back in

The costs could range anywhere between 2k-8k all depending on other circumstances best option is to have one of our team members to come out to inspect and gather any extra details

Depends you would need a scaffolding probably that would be paid directly by you . I can recommend a good firm . Then it depends on access . Once down there would be a hole so that would have to be roofed over and repaired . But my guess is 400 for the removal and then the repair depending what the roof is . Slate or tile . Plus the brick or block would need a skip to go in to
