1930s Semi. Extended
Damp Chimney Breasts Upstairs and down.
The Chimney was repointed and re-flashed a couple of Years ago. One Roofer suggested Stack Removal.
I thought it was fixed but a recent refurb and skim of one of the Upstairs Rooms still showed moisture in the Breast.
During Heavy Rain, I could see water running down the Brickwork in the Loft.
I had someone out Yesterday with a view to getting the Stack Removed.
He is suggesting ether a stripping and felting around the Breast £800 or a complete re-roof of the Original Roof to add Felt £5K
Says the Slates are in very Good Condition.
House was extended sideways in about 1990. The new Part is felted and no problems that I am aware of.
The Torching (learnt that on here!) is pretty much gone.
Is a Re-Roof the best way to go and is £5 reasonable? Based in North West.
Thanks
