When we moved into our house a year ago the survey said that the chimney's needed repointing. With all the wind and adverse weather we've had lately I've decided that it's probably about time we got around to this...
I've asked a few local companies for quotes and interestingly have so far had two very different quotes - one who has said it needs rerendering and reflonching, and one who says that it needs entirely rebuilding...
Needless to say, the quotes are significantly different, with the rebuild being around £1k and the rerender/reflonch being around £400
So, my question is, how can I tell which I actually need? Either person a) is leading me on, or person b) is too inexperienced to tell what actually needs doing...
Look forward to the feedback - thanks!
