Hi All,
I have a clunch chimney stack, and after removing the brick infill open it up to its original size, I've left wondering what to do to finish it. Whatever it is, it will need to tolerate a bit of heat as I'm going to be installing a wood burner.
Should I line it with a board and hide the clunch - or could I apply a lime render?
The guy who came to quote said we should line it because the clunch was very dry, but surely the render will help solidify the clunch and hold it together? How will the heat affect it?
Answers on a postcard please...
