We had a big patch of damp on the chimney breast, which started half way up and was to one side. I called out a damp expert (there's something wrong with that term!) who advised we got a cowl fitted to the chimney. This was duly done but one the day it was fitted it rained heavily and I could hear water dripping behind the fire place, which I'd never heard before. I rang the damp people who said there was no way it could be coming from the cowl but could be from the chimney pot next to it which relates to the bedroom chimney (no fire there, it's been removed) and this is somehow dripping into the living room. Does this make sense? Do I need to get another cowl fitted? Could this have any bearing on the cracks in the bedroom chimney breast (see earlier post), although the bedroom chimney isn't damp.
Thank you
