Leaking Chimney in Carlisle: Where Can the Water Be Coming From?

A water stain near the chimney may originate from flashings, brickwork, roof coverings or condensation inside the flue.

Cost depends on the stack's condition, roof access, scope of repair and whether associated flashings or chimney components need work.

Loose chimney masonry at roof height can pose a risk to people and property below.
