Noticed damp on the walls chimney stack in the upstairs bedroom. Checked out the stack in the loft and it's pretty wet with some bricks extremely soft. I assume there has been water ingress from failed flashing and degraded pointing.
Will these bricks htfu again over time or do they need replacing? The damp has also affects an adjacent rafter. What type of tradesperson do I need to contact, or is this a job for multiple people? Would a roofer be able to replace brickwork or remove the stack if I wanted it gone?
