Hello community, wondering if someone could help.
I have two chimney breasts in my flat. There are no fireplaces underneath but 4 chimneys point to them on the roof.
When it rains, they were leaking and the walls were getting wet.
So we had the entire roof redone, which was rather battered, the flashing redone.
It was still leaking.
So we had the masonry plastered.
It's now still leaking. Perhaps not as badly, but I can hear a drip along the first breast at a rate of every 12 seconds. The second breast doesn't seem to be leaking, but I'm not 100% on that just yet.
Could it be the chimney caps? Or what else could it be...?
Is there anything to be mindful of in taking down the chimneys entirely and plastering the holes?
