    damp at base of chimney

    We have a 1930's semi. I have opened the builders break on a disused chimney, but we have damp at the base. Would this most likely be from the base or from needing the chimney capped?

    new floor with part UHF

I've attached a photo the white line is 70mm which is the minimum, silly question but is it possible to cut the upstand back to this? Particularly on the longer side?
