Lead on sloping chimney sections?

[Charlie_Powell]

Hi all,

I am wondering, what is the correct way for the slope parts of chimneys to be done? See chimney below

See, I noticed that there is a damp patch on the internal side of the chimney. I wonder could it be coming from the cracks between the render and the brickwork? The other side looks solid. The house is a 1980s cavity block wall.
I hope someone has some thoughts. Thanks all.

The damp might be from the blocked up chimney with no ventilation. An air brick or hit and miss vent inside at the base of the flue, kept under review.

Looks like your gutter above satellite dish might be blocked by vegetation

Middle picture - there is a strange " joint " in the rainwater downpipe . Plastic stuffed into iron pipe ? surely that leaks - the green on the wall and the litle plant growing confirms it - possibly

The abutment of the wall is normally weathered in with a few tiles or piece of lead. But as others have said looks like guttering/downpipe pouring water onto the brickwork.

The chimney is a working one so it is not damp inside it. That gutter on the left is indeed a bit full. Very hard to fit my hand in to clean it but I improved it a bit. I also put some render on the brick abutment render joint. Thanks for the tips!
