Chimney lean - should I be concerned ?

[swayzak]

Good morning

I have some concerns about one of the chimneys on our Victorian detached house (built c1860).

There is a lean (also noted on the survey when we purchased the property in 2016).

I've attached some current pictures (along with one from the previous survey).

Should we be concerned ? If so should be get a builder or roofer to inspect first, or ask a structural engineer ?

Thanks

Never get anybody to inspect anything in which they might have an interest in the work they may recommend.

A structural engineer to inspect. Or a building surveyor if he is competent in this type of work.

A bricklayer to do any subsequent work. Plus may need a GasSafe engineer if the flues are in use.

It does not look that bad from those pictures, but the pictures are not that good.

Looks ok to me. The slant in the tiled roof could be making it look worse.
