Appliance, surround and flue
State which parts go. Retained masonry may need structural support, so any connection to upper chimney sections must be assessed.
Connections and fire safety
A gas appliance needs safe isolation by the appropriate installer. Check whether a flue is shared or still used. Agree how remaining openings are dealt with.
Finishes and rubble
Floor and wall repairs are separate from removing the appliance or surround. Describe the intended room condition and waste route.
What is included?
The quotation lists removed components and layers, protection and waste arrangements. Structural provisions, service adjustments and reinstatement are included only where expressly specified.

Work sequence and safety
Photos and documents support the initial assessment. Where needed, a site visit or specialist information follows. Equipment, dust control, protection, sorting and handover fit the actual project. Unknown materials or structural functions require assessment before work continues.
Your Amsterdam property
Include the floor level, access route and permitted lift loads. Shared areas, homeowners’ association arrangements and any protected status are considered when preparing the work.
