Hello,
And thanks for reading - I live in a terraced house built about 1925. Woke up this morning to find that the living room grate was covered in dust, and when I felt up the chimney, I could see chunks that had collected at the bottom - probably about 10 chunks, average size of a 50p piece. These look to be similar in consistency to mortar, with one side blackened from being exposed to the exhaust gases. Does this mean I need to get the chimney relined, and if so, how quickly does it need to be done. The chimney is used, we have a living flame gas fire that we haven't used yet this autumn, but soon will be.
How much would getting it relined cost?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Ed
