How Much Does Chimney Removal Cost in Toronto? (2026 Guide)
Whether your chimney is no longer in use, leaking, or simply in the way of a renovation, chimney removal is one of the more specialized jobs we handle for homeowners across Toronto and North York.
Average Chimney Removal Costs
- Interior chimney removal (single storey): $1,500 – $3,500
- Full chimney removal (roof to basement): $3,500 – $7,000
- Partial removal (above roofline only): $1,000 – $2,500
What Affects the Price
- Chimney height and number of storeys it passes through
- Material — brick chimneys take longer to break down than prefab metal flues
- Roof repair — patching and flashing work after removal, usually quoted separately by a roofer
- Structural support — some chimneys are load-bearing and need engineering review before removal
- Access — interior chimneys running through finished rooms require more careful, dust-controlled work
What to Expect During the Process
We start at the top and work down, removing brick or masonry in controlled sections, protecting floors and adjoining rooms, and capping or patching the roof opening before we leave. Full interior removals typically take 1–3 days depending on height and structure.
Some chimney removals also require a building permit — see our permit guide above for details. Get a free chimney removal estimate from Yankeys Demolition, serving Toronto, North York, Scarborough, and the entire GTA.
