hi there...just had our 2 chimneys lined, topped and leadwork replaced...very happy as it leaked like billyo
we have repointed and rendered(the gable ends) with lime (NHL3.5)
however the builder who did the lining and leadwork has told us that the chimney will still leak and needs to be repointed with cemtn and waterproofer.
Im not sure. i would hope that the lime pointing would do the job, but doubts are creeping in and i want the chimneys dry as they can be. also want to use this time (and scaffolding ) to get it all done once and for all
all advice welcome as usual
