Hi
My chimney got damaged last week and now looks like this (see pic) I’ve got an existing wood burner so it’s got a flexible lining which I need to terminate and rebuild the top of the chimney.
My plan was to go as high as necessary with the brickwork to allow the flue to terminate 600mm above the ridge (which I’ve heard is the minimum height) then set a new chimney pot with mortar haunching, then cut the flexible lining to shorten it a bit, fit a new top clamp to it after sliding the new pot down it, then finish with a bird guard.
Never done this before so the above could be totally wrong, any advice appreciated
