Chimney was blocked up and had an electric fire, we have ripped out so it's back to original so take it the damp was due to no ventilation

I have recently removed a concrete channel from the front of my house that was doing more damage than good. (didnt go anywhere) I now need some repointing work done, party of which will be underground once the hole is filled back in... Reading on these forums, i see it is best to repoint...
