Hi. Can you post a photo or two as it is difficult to envisage the problem?
 
sorry not that good with computer, i checked in the loft and chimney is dry above the ceiling and damp under the ceiling strang i know
 
Hi. 1. As the chimney has been reduced to below roof line, what method was used to weather stack on gable end. (Was it caped to allow air circulation?)
2. When work was carried out was any insulation in the roof space removed and not replaced?

the ceilings have only just been put back up and insulation will b added later
