@exoticrobotic what is the quickest method to cap an unused chimney ? use a curved ridged tile, so it is still vented? i'm looking around at other peoples. i have a job with a chimney breast that gets damp and leaks efflorescence that i can't be arsed fucking around with , or waiting for eternity for somebody to come fix it . i'm going up myself , it is only a bungalow height

i am no expert, just a diyer who likes being on roofs.



Damp could be from chimney top or flaunching or cracked tiles or boiler condensate leaking up there.

Could also be no lead around the base of chimney where it meets roof tiles.

GL... bungalow is pieace of piss :tiphat:

Had the chimneys swept yesterday.

What a caper! £80 per chimney for shoving a brush and hoover up and shaking it about.

I knew there was something funny about the chimney sweep bloke as soon as he walked through the door.

He'd been doing it for 6 years, previous 30 years a copper and he still walked like one...

You could hear my sphincter tighten as i breathed out slowly.

Good job i chatted to him 5 mins before he came in the room as i had time to shuffle the 80 peat pots aside.

:biggrin::rasta:

back in the day , children used to be lowered into the chimney stacks. and if they were too slow, the master would light the fire

Just harness your inner Fred Dibner and you got nothing to worry about.

“Did ya like that”

What a man!!!
