Thanks all Once the ventillation is restablished and the surrounding brickwork dried out (am told could be upto six months - is this right?) will the leeching stop and i can then simply paint over the internal walls? May also need to repoint.... Is this a good time of year to do it...

When i had a loft conversion done a disused flue was capped. This has led to condensation. The brick stack runs down the side of the house. The condensation has resulted in a large damp area 2m x 2m around the bottom half of the stack. Internally i have noticed tarry deposits coming through...
