Chimney Rebuilds/Repointing
We find that many chimneys are redundant so homeowners neglect them frequently. If the chimney has not been damaged by the wind and rain, then the actual use of the fireplace would have certainly caused the chimney to decay over time.
The chimney can be removed if you are thinking about taking out the chimneybreast inside your home to make more room, but we would recommend repairing or rebuilding the chimney to avoid any damage being caused to your roof if chimney removal is not required.
