Chimney

Two videos of the Chimney showing the four sides, and one video of the flat roof.

  • The Chimney needs stripping, then stabilising with breathable primer, then painting with breathable exterior paint
  • The flat roof is 2m wide at the max, and 4.2m long. This needs removing, some boards at the end replacing, and then re-covering

Questions

  1. Should we use a breathable stabilising solution to bind the crumbly mortar?
  2. What else should we do to prepare the surface?
  3. How long should we wait for the surface to dry before beginning?
  4. How much of the pre-existing paint should be removed?

I took these before I went ahead and scraped off as much loose material as possible. The cap of the chimney looks intact which is good.
