    Full breakdown in the roof repair cost guide.

    How do I know if it is the flashing or the pointing?

    Flashing leaks show as damp next to the breast after wind-driven rain. Pointing leaks show as persistent damp on the breast wall inside.

    Should I just remove it?

    If it is unused and leaking, removal is often cheaper over ten years than repeated repairs. We quote both.

    Do I need planning permission to remove a chimney?

    Usually not, unless the house is listed or in a conservation area. Building Regulations apply if the breast is removed inside.

    Can you do it without scaffold?

    Very rarely. Anything at chimney height needs scaffold for your safety and ours.
