Hi All
This is my first time on the site and looking forward to it and some help please?
I have been in loftspace and chimney breast is very wet and its damaged to plaster and ceiling to daughters bedroom underneath.
Upon going up on the roof to look at the chimney there looks like a hole in the mortar but the flue also looks like it may let water in? The make looks like URASTONE and reading up online looks asbestos and very old, should i replace it? take off all the moss? mortar back in the holes? repoint the stack? Not sure where the water is getting it but want to make it rubust whilst scaffold is up.
Any suggestios are welcome ?
Many Thanks
Dave
