It's a Glasgow tenement and the chimneys are very tall, the roofers we've had out are not keen to get up the chimney stack though they'll happily walk all over the mossy, wet roof in trainers which seems mad to me.
Cheers @aggi, I hadn't realised that that was a difference between the balloon and the sheep.

@Spxtz I would persist with contacting roofers. Most access to Glasgow tenement roofs is very straightforward as there is often a gully in the middle.
We stuck a chimney sheep thing in our tenement chimney that wasn't being used and it made loads of difference. But I would still try and get a cowl as that's going to be letting quite a bit of rain in presumably?

A roofer can probably fit a cowl or cap without a scaffold tbh - is there something special about your gaff that precludes a set of ladders?
We’ve had our non used pots cowled and will fit a sheep or similar over winter. Should be enough ventilation for the minimal amount of moisture that can get in.
