serves to vent a space between our flats,that's if they even have a
cavity between the blockwork??you'll have to forgive my ignorance,if
possible i'd like to remove them

How old is the building?

It sounds to me like they are the vent stacks for the plumbing. If so, they
probably go all the way down to the basement and tie into the main sewer
pipe.

Regardless of what they are, why do you want to remove them?

its a late 60s building,they are taking up a fair bit of room in the loft and they leak or the ridge vent does,i was thinking remove them completely and replace with
a nice new tile,thanks for your reply.
