Hi. 1. As the chimney has been reduced to below roof line, what method was used to weather stack on gable end. (Was it caped to allow air circulation?)
2. When work was carried out was any insulation in the roof space removed and not replaced?

the chimney was felt and battened over useing breather felt.
the ceilings have only just been put back up and insulation will b added later
