Chimney

The reason roofers get called in to do brickwork and pointing on chimneys in the private sector is that nowadays they are the only ones with ladders to go up and do it. It's the same with lead flashings. Traditionally it's the plumber that was trained to do the job properly, but it's hard enough for people to get a plumber out anyway and even less chance of getting one up on the roof.
When you work for a company the scaffold would be set up for the correct trades to come in. e,g, bricklayers to rebuild the stack, roofers to tile to it, plumbers to do the flashing.
 
That angle is somewhere between 1 and 2 degrees. When it gets to 20 you need to worry.
