Before removing a chimney, we first need to establish whether it is load-bearing. This means checking whether the chimney helps stabilise your home's structure. It is comparable to a load-bearing wall, which cannot simply be removed because it forms part of the structure of your home. Removing it could even cause the house to collapse. When removing a chimney, we therefore need to distinguish between:
Load-bearing or non-load-bearing chimney?
Removing a non-load-bearing chimney
A non-load-bearing chimney can be removed without structural calculations. Whether you also need an environmental and planning permit varies by municipality. Although you could therefore remove a non-load-bearing chimney without specialist knowledge, it is always sensible to contact an experienced contractor. Firstly, you must be certain that the chimney truly has no load-bearing function. A contractor can assess the structure and construction drawings to establish this. Secondly, this is still an alteration to your roof, and it is essential that the roof is professionally sealed afterwards to protect your home from all weather conditions.
Removing a load-bearing chimney
If you already know that the chimney you want removed is load-bearing, a drawing of the replacement structure is always necessary. The municipality will also request a structural drawing when you apply for an environmental permit, because it needs to be sure that your home and its surroundings will be safe after the chimney is removed. At Sloop Concurrent, we can do more than remove your chimney neatly: we can also help and guide you through the entire process, from applying for the environmental permit to preparing structural calculations for the replacement structure.

Benefits of structural calculations for your chimney
Sloop Concurrent's experienced structural engineers prepare calculations for safe replacement structures in every type of home. Having us prepare your structural calculations offers many benefits:
Our structural calculations ensure compliance with the regulations
If you are required to apply for a permit for your renovation, you must also submit structural calculations to building control. Our structural engineer ensures the drawings comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The calculations also help ensure you do not face subsidence or cracking in the future.
Our calculations provide the most efficient design for your renovation
Using the construction drawings, our structural engineer calculates the loads the walls and foundations can withstand. A new structure capable of supporting these loads is then built.
Our structural drawing saves costs
At Sloop Concurrent, we consider more than just the best and most efficient replacement structure. Our thorough understanding of structures and how to build them means we always consider material costs too. Because we work with building materials every day, we also have a good understanding of current prices.
Our structural calculations immediately show you what the renovation will cost.
The advantage of having structural calculations prepared by Sloop-Concurrent is that we can also carry out the renovation itself. Because the structural drawings are highly detailed, we know exactly how much the renovation will cost. This helps you avoid surprises.
