Above is a chimney stack that was repaired on a listed property, the repairing required all defective bricks to be removed and replaced with matching bricks,this was done in stages as the chimney stack was very unstable to repair. Once all the defective bricks had been replaced the chimney stack was repointed and capped off, a ridge tile is bedded in the flaunching to allow the chimney breast to be vented. If the chimney is not vented as above or with air bricks the chimney breast on the internal walls will sweat with trapped moisture in the chimney breast causing the walls to stain. Many chimney stack repairs can be carried out from a roof ladder keeping the cost down.
