   • This includes removal of bricks, tiles, or other materials that are part of the chimney system.

Excluded

from Chimney Dismantling and Cleaning:

1. Structural Repairs:

   • If there are cracks, leaks, or significant damage in the chimney structure, repairs would usually be excluded from a standard cleaning and dismantling service.
   • Any masonry work, such as rebuilding or replacing damaged bricks, would typically be an additional cost.

2. Chimney Liner Replacement:

   • If the chimney liner needs to be replaced or repaired, this is often not included in a basic cleaning service and would require separate work.

3. Cost of New Chimney Parts:

   • Any new parts needed for the chimney system, such as a new chimney cap, flue liner, or masonry components, are typically excluded from the service unless specifically stated in the quote.

Included in Chimney Dismantling:

1. Removal of Chimney Structure:

   • Dismantling the chimney from the roof down to the foundation, including the removal of bricks, mortar, and any other materials.
   • This may include the removal of flues, caps, liners, and other components that make up the chimney.

2. Disposal of Materials:

   • The removal and proper disposal of debris, bricks, and other materials from the dismantled chimney, which could include hauling the debris away from the island property.

3. Safety Precautions:

   • Ensuring safe practices are followed throughout the dismantling process, such as scaffolding, harnesses, or other safety equipment to prevent accidents.

4. Capping or Sealing the Chimney Base:

   • Sealing or capping the base of the chimney once it's dismantled, preventing water ingress or structural damage.

5. Site Cleanup:

   • Removing all debris from the area, ensuring that the surrounding area is clean and free of hazardous materials once the chimney is dismantled.

Excluded from Chimney Dismantling:

1. Structural Repair of the Roof or Foundation:

   • If the chimney’s removal causes damage to the roof or foundation, repairs to these parts may be considered a separate service and would not typically be included in the basic dismantling project.

2. Restoration or Renovation of the Surrounding Area:

   • Any restoration work on the roof, walls, or area around the chimney after removal may not be part of the dismantling service unless specified.

3. Handling Hazardous Materials (e.g., Asbestos):

   • If there is asbestos or other hazardous materials in the chimney or surrounding areas, removal or handling may be excluded unless specified as part of the scope. Special removal protocols are often required for these materials.

4. Chimney Relocation or Installation of New Chimney:
