Yeah thats my thoughts. i hope that they will do this. is there any legal stuff i need to do in case that drop it through the celling or fuck something up ??
Rich_G-
If you're worried about this kind of stuff, then get a party wall survey and agreement. You can appoint your own surveyor, and by rights, they are responsible for covering all costs for this also.

I'd be surprised if they aren't expecting you to contribute to costs. if they're not - bonus.
another thing to consider is that if you still have chimney breasts in the house, these will need to be ventilated to prevent condensation causing damp once the roof top stack is gone.

We just removed our shared stack as part of a loft conversion, and are very grateful to our neighbours for agreeing to it.
Have they offered to cover all costs? If you know you're never going to use the chimneys, then use this opportunity to have it deleted for free. It's an obsolete relic that degrades, leaks and collapses.
