Hi,
As in the pic, the chimney pot 3rd from the left is broken at the top. Someone in the past has tied a wire to hold something across it. It was clearly broken before the chimney was rebuilt but the mason has refitted and cemented it back in and I am only noticing it now, so I need to repair it in place. It won't be very noticeable from the ground but this particular chimney is going to be live so I am going to be fitting a cowl, and I need it to be reasonably mechanically sound for this. I was thinking of using the metal hose clip from the cowl to hold a piece of slate in place, then plastering around it with some mortar, but wondered if anyone had done this before or had any better ideas?
