Call from customer :
damp upper bedroom wall , even dehumidifier can’t get rid of the damp.

Using my drone to zoom into the stack and pots I suggest the capping cowl is allowing the rain to track back under the cowl and is dripping back into the flue , where there is probably an old nest

That nest is retaining the moisture and is in contact with the bedroom wall causing it to be damp

Issue:
The fireplace in that bedroom was blocked and plastered over years ago, the only way to discover and remove the nest it is to reopen the fireplace

So the customer breaks open the old fireplace , and is immediately faced with a lot of nesting material 👍🏻

Once removed the wall should dry nicely

There’s nothing like an unexpected large birds nest on the last job of the day 😂😫 all cleared and checked with my cctv and brush exits the pot ✅

Here are some chimney stack inspections using the drone , I don’t just use it for chimney stack inspections , if you need your roof checking out for any reason just contact me , it’s cheaper than scaffolding and safer than a ladder , and I send the footage to you when I’m done !

As we head into the more quieter time of the sweeping year, use the spring / summer months to get the repairs done on your stoves , in readiness for September.

This Henley Lincoln 5 had a full brick set and new baffle plate to replace the broken bricks and corroded / holed baffle plate

All rubbish removed from the address 👍🏻
