Hi all,
Anyone out there a chimney expert?
I can smell smoke in my loft when my fire is lit. I think i can see the offending brick that has started to to deteriorate and has left a hole. Could this be just re-bricked up and used or is there a bigger problem than this?
Please talk about needing the stack pump lined as the interior lining will have disintegrated, but then others have said that the old house like mine (1900ish) never had linings in the first place so re-bricking and repointing the chimney should be fine.
Anyone know whos right whos wrong or have any extra info that could lay down for me ?
Many Many Thanks
Gav
