New user - internal chimney problem, any advice please?
Hi,
I am a new user who is after some advice. I am just looking into buying my first property and the one I am considering has the following problem.
The chimney inside the house, where it comes straight down in the corner of the room, the previous occupants removed the bottom half of this chimney, about 7 foot off the bottom so the new bottom of the chimney is near the ceiling but this has been filled in poorly and therefore is leaking as there is a lot of water damage around the wall, the damage appears to be just cosmetic.
I was basically wondering how this needs to be fixed, if it specialised and if anyone knows how much this would cost?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I do not know about this sort of thing.
Thanks :thumbup:
