Hi,

See attached picture of my chimney breast.
As you can see the block work is in bad order and is all cracked. The chimney is is perfect working order with a good draw and not smoking etc. Is this a case of wrapping chimney in reinforcing mesh and re plastering or a demolition /rebuild? Any advice or recommendations much appreciated?

neighbours has a crack in the chimmey, unfort had chimmey fire and smoke leaked out through the crack into the attic, firemen said they lucky a spark didnt escape and ignite the attic. Took builders two weeks to remove and rebuild. They claimed it off the house insurance. Perhaps not a help at all to you but maybe a consideration...
 
Going to get an expert opinion on it and then check insurance policy. Thanks for replies.
 
Can recommend Action Chimneys in Newbridge, nationwide service, excellent, I have no affiliation.
