Hi There
We have an unused shared chimney which connects to first floor bathroom. The neighbours chimney side has two chimney pots but on our side there's none.
Our side is partly covered with concrete and partly open. There's no damp and never been a problem but I thought perhaps it should have some sort of cap.
A roofer suggested he could cover it with slate and flaunching but I think that could cause damp if there's no ventilation.
Question 1: Is it advisable to have it capped?
Question 2: What's the best method given there's no chimney pot?
