So we have now encountered what is (hopefully) that one big unforeseen expense you have to stomach when you buy a new house that everyone warns you about.... we had new fireplaces put in yesterday and while up on the roof to add bird guards the installer discovered the entire chimney was in a pretty awful, bodged together state. Looks like it'll cost ~ £2.5K to rebuild the top 3-4 roes of bricks and fix/replace the pots.
Our only hope is that, since the whole chimney needs work and we share it with our neighbours, they might chip in too. What are the chances?
