Visible open mortar joints, white salt staining, internal damp at the chimney breast, or tiles slipping at the chimney junction are all indicators. We offer free chimney surveys — many issues aren't visible from ground level.
Yes — ventilated caps prevent water ingress while maintaining airflow. Full removal to roof level is also available. We advise on the most appropriate option based on stack condition and position.
