Rain penetrating damp

Posted by Carol Stokoe, on
I have damp patches in the living room, of my terraced house, in and around one chimney breast in the living room. It gets substantially worse when it rains. I had a new roof about 8 years ago and have recently had a cap on the chimeny, thinking that this was the problem. This problem started several years ago and has got steadily worse. Any ideas please?

Hello carol, You need to get a 5star rated people roofer to check your chimney flashings and pointing, so you can rule that area out despite having someone cap it. the integrity of the person who capped it for you could be in question. Regards Sam
