This is a chimney that I've been asked to look at for a relative of mine. The joints look quite open and in need of repointing, but I'm also wondering if it would be better for the chimney to be taken down brick by brick and rebuilt again. When you look at the top area, it looks as if it is curved as though both sides of the chimney have settled down. If so, how far would down the chimney would it be appropriate to take it down to ?
Any words of wisdom or advice would be appreciated as well as an idea of what it should cost in the region of to do.
