Leaking into loft by chimney

We noticed a leak by our chimney in the loft a few months ago when it rains. We have had the ridge tiles replaced and a new chimney cap placed to try and solve the issue. The next suggestion is repointing the chimney, though it’s not very obvious that this needs doing. Is there any other possible cause of such a leak?

Get a roofer to check the Lead Apron on the chimney and the pointing.
