Bainbridge-
Feel the inside of the chimney stack?

Could be - is there any way of finding out without getting up on the roof?
Don't think so. You could have a visual inspection by a drone, but I think a proper inspection involves some proddling. Of course, if you stick your head in the chimney, look up, and see daylight then the answer is almost certainly 'no, it isn't'.

Has the chimney been capped properly? All too often it's just water getting in at the top and running down the chimney stack, now that there isn't a nice hot fire at the bottom to keep it all warm and dry.
