Fix chimney

[Cole123]

Hi, I'm planning to repair the chimney a bit at the Torpet. Filling up the joint between the bricks. Should I use fireproof mortar!?

Anything important to keep in mind, preparation?, or is it just a matter of filling up and tidying up.

Hi and thanks!

It is high time to either polish or cover the entire chimney with metal as the pictures show.

Covering it up doesn't solve the problem, it just hides it...

Save money and then rebuild the chimney section above the roof.

Any tips to consider, preparation work?, or is it just a matter of filling and tidying up.

Hello and thanks!

A beautiful chimney and not particularly high to try to repair.
You should also carefully check the protection on top as well as how it looks in the channels down in the chimney.
Something in this direction is a good methodology.

The chimney is sealed, pressure-tested, and approved. It's mostly cosmetic, and I want to prevent it from getting worse. The chimney has a hat, but no hood.

I definitely won't redo the masonry. My motto is never fix something that's not broken. I don't think covering it with metal will solve anything.

I was just thinking of cleaning off loose parts and repairing it, and then possibly applying some stone/brick impregnation.

Looks like hydraulic lime mortar is the right bag product for you.
