Do you have a mobile phone and access to Google?

I think these would be the most valuable assets at this difficult (and shortly to be more expensive) time.

You should come over and help me DH I heard you're good with a hammer

Thats needs to be removed & rebuilt before it comes down   all depends how good your bricklaying skills are?

if that was me i'd need some bigger testicles

The tapered chimney looks like only two bricks need replacing, but the smaller one needs taking down to the lead flash and rebuilding, because another cold winter will only split the bricks even worse.

Notice how the pointing on the tapered one has probably preserved the bricks through the weather/time.

Well I'm doing the easy bit chimney one and coping stones the second FOked one I've never seen and three corses need removing and rebuilding.
The only issue I have is I'll need scafolding across neighbours drive and his flat roof just to get to it otherwise if I don't get permission I'll have to get water ballast to counter any funny scafolding drapped over the roof!

Anyone use easy rake looks like a routing tool but not sure if worth it? £50 odd quid the diamond disc alredy cost me £20.00! Plus spent £40 on the angle grinder my old one had just died from abuse!
 
The money could have gone on my MK2

Agreed.

I took down and rebuilt a 5 ft brick pillar last summer. It's easy once you get the hand of it.

Dont laugh Alex this little discovery has set me back a few quid that could have gone on the new boiler system

Its all about time to me Jon I've not used cement and bricks before  :embarassed: if it was on ground level I would have a go, but the cost of scafolding these days its not cheap rather have someone just take out the bad courses and cap it over.
The fire place is not being used plus if I wanted full tile replacement it would mean more money and noone can see that side of the house.

Anyone near who can do such a job? the scafolding will be inplace before anyone comes I need to plan it now or come winter I fear the worst TBH.
