Why Are Homeowners Removing Their Log Burners?
Log burner removal is one of the fastest growing services in the chimney industry right now.
Homeowners are choosing to remove their stoves for a range of reasons — and whatever yours is, RJL Chimneys can take care of it professionally and efficiently.
🏠 Redecorating or renovating — creating a clean, open fireplace or simply regaining the space
🌿 Environmental concerns — newer clean air regulations and changing attitudes to solid fuel burning
🔥 No longer using it — a stove that hasn't been lit in years is better removed than left as a maintenance liability
🏡 Selling the property — some buyers prefer a clear fireplace opening they can style themselves

How Our Removal Service Works
1. Get in touch — call, text or enquire online. Tell us about your stove and we'll give you an indicative price straight away.
2. Free assessment — for larger or more complex jobs we'll visit to assess access, stove size and what's involved before confirming the final price.
3. Removal day — our two-man team arrives, lays dust sheets and handles everything from disconnection to chimney capping.
4. Clean and gone — we leave your home spotless. The stove and all components are taken away for responsible recycling.
Frequently Asked Questions — Log Burner Removal
Q: How long does a log burner removal take?
Most standard removals take between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size of the stove and whether the flue liner needs extracting at the same time.
Q: Do you remove the flue liner as well?
Yes — we can extract the flue liner as part of the same visit. This is often recommended if the liner is old or if the chimney is being repurposed. Just let us know when you enquire and we'll factor it into the quote.
Q: What happens to my log burner after removal?
All appliances and components are taken to a registered recycling centre. The metal is recycled and non-metallic parts such as firebricks and glass are disposed of responsibly. Nothing goes to landfill where we can help it.
Q: Will you cap the chimney after removal?
Yes — we sweep the chimney thoroughly and fit a cap to the pot on the roof as standard. This keeps weather, birds and debris out of the flue going forward.
Q: Do you cover my area?
