Hi all
We have a leak in the attic around the chimney stack thats been there probably for a while now in reality
Anyway we have scaffolding in place around the chimney and while we are up there we may aswell do the repointing of the chimney stack as it has plants all over it and the crown has a big crack in it too - this crack may be the source of the problem I dont know so we will be checking the lead etc too
Anyway question is what sort of additive do you need in the motar mix for the joints and crown - just a waterproofer or is there anything else - 4:1 mix Ok or stronger???
Also some of the brickwork joints are very thin - is there any special motar mix or silicone type available for these thin joints
Hopefully we will find the source of the leak otherwise its proabably a new roof
Thanks
