We have got a lot done this year so busy that I haven't updated the blog. During May and June I stared repairing the ajoining wall in the loft between my neighbours house on the other side. They had put thier house up for sale so I had to get a move on. There was a lot of damp damage in this wall and it was crumbling, I could see into the flue in places.
Step 1: Take out all mortar joints on the top and face of the wall back to good masonry but leave the wall beneath the chimney in disturbed. Repair and repoint.
Step 2: Repair and repoint chimney below roof level. Replace the missing brick at the front of the that had fallen into the flue. Chimney had been lined with a metal flue so the brick has been removed and there is no danger of the core gases escaping.
Step 3: Repair the wall and flue below the chimney in small sections until the whole wall is sound.
