Most of the time, you can remove the fireplace structure and leave the chimney in place. You just would need to seal it at the bottom where it connected the fireplace. You’d also need to cap it at the top. However, you probably should consult with a local chimney inspection specialist to determine whether the structural integrity of the chimney will allow it to remain safely in place without the support of the fireplace.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Professional contractors will be done within one day for most bathroom demo projects. And if it’s just floor tile or fixture removal, it might only take a few hours. They might need a few days to demo a big bathroom covered floor-to-ceiling in tiles, especially if a wall needs to come down, too. If you’re gutting a big bathroom yourself, it could take a few days to a week, depending on whether you're just learning how to demo a bathroom, who else you can rope in to help, and the extent of the demolition.

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
