Anyone any idea on how much I might expect to pay to have a chimney (2
bricks x 2 bricks x 13 bricks high) removed and the resultant gap
tiled over?


2 men at 100 each, plus materials at about 75...say another 75 for profit
and getting rid of the bricks, so 350 ish.

They should have it done in about 5 hours....forget scaffold and all that
****e, it's totally unnecesary, the bloke on the roof will lower down 3 or 4
bricks in a bucket on a rope until it's all down, and this is the only use
of a second man - without him it would be probably a full day for one


where you based Phil?
