Thanks mate (y) Here with some photos, the back gutter appears to fall the wrong way but not sure if that would really make much difference. The tiles out of alignment have since been pulled down. Hairline crack in the fillet by the pots has also been filled. Apologies for the number of...

Thanks for your help Ree and Dan would you mind if I posted some photos on your thread mate? Ree, why would it be bad news to render a stack or would it just be a waste of time and money? For the amount of water coming down I struggle to see how this could all be down to brick porosity.

Hey Dan, Fingers crossed the repointing will solve it for you. We had our pointing and flashing on the stack redone but unfortunately it still leaks. Roofer now thinks bricks may have become porous so thinks it would be worth sealing or rendering the stack. I’m a little sceptical seems like...

Hi Dan, just wondering if you managed to sort out your damp problem on your stack? I appear to have the same problem with water running down the chimney brick work in the attic. Have had a roofer check and he think the flashings and tiles appear ok. Water slowly runs down the bricks with any...

Hi Terry, many thanks for your reply please see the attached photos if that helps.(y)
