Hi,
I have had a call from a tenant of mine informing me that a chimney pot is leaning on my roof. They also tell me that this is the only one they can see whereas the other houses down the street have 4.
I think this is because my house is an end terrace whereby the neighbours chimney stacks are back to back ie, 2 per side.
Anyway, when I had some building work done probably about 4 years ago I had one / both of the pots capped off. I dont know if there were originally 2 up there prior to the work done (there are two fireplaces so guess should be 2). The fireplaces are not used, have no fitted flue's and are boarded off inside the lounge / dining room.
My questions are;
1) Do I need to have a chimney pot at all, could it be left off?
2) The leaning pot should be uprighted and fixed but does anyone know how much this should typically cost?
3) Is scaffolding going to be required?
Thanks for any advice.
