I do not have any working chimneys in my house. There is a stack above roof and in loft.
1. Bricks are blown and spalling. Should I get the whole stack rendered or just replace the spalling bricks with staff blue. What mix should the guy be using.
2. There are pots above chimney. As I do not have working chimney,do I remove the pots and get the base rendered or just cap them. What is used for if pots are removed. Is the base rendered or a concrete slab is used. What about breathability.I do not want issues again for another 10-15 years or longer.
Thanks.
