wet chimney

[guest627]

Hi

No leackages in the loft, everything is dry, but the chimney wall is slightly wet after rain in some places close to the ceiling. I suspect it is condensation. Can anything be done about it? I guess I cannot fix a heater close to this wet place, and it seems odd to use the fireplace as a fireplace since it is a bedroom. We are currently decorating it, so maybe we should/should not do something?

Ask @ your local TRADE paint supplier about Classidur or similar remedial paint

Just a thought here...
is the condition of the chimney's brickwork/flashing ok?
