This is a former Victorian hot house, now being converted as a garden room. We've already reduced the chimney to about half height but I've noticed a crack running up the remainder. It doesn't reach the top or bottom for now and isn't actually functional, but I'd like to stop it getting worse
The pointing is obviously ready to fix but what do you do with cracked bricks? The crack seems too narrow to get mortar in.
The chimney is tied in to the wall so I don't really want to take it down as it will look naff, if it can be protected?
I do plan to cap the top but this crack was there already.
