The top of my 2 metre chimney stack has been deteriorating over the last five years. It was already cracked when we moved in and as each winters rain/frost cycle goes by they get steadily wider.
I've got some scaffold coming at the end of the week, so will take 15 courses off and then re-lay the 5 so that it terminates just above ridge height.
My questions is - give the price of the scaffold (£400+), am I a fool not to drop a stainless liner down while I'm up there? The chimney isn't used, but who knows what we (or a new owner) might do in a few years.
Is it even that simple, or does the liner spec depend on type of stove/fire/etc?
Cheers
Gary
