|---|---|---|---|
| Reduced Height | The chimney height has been reduced, and the works should have been undertaken in line with any applicable Local Authority approvals or regulations | 0 | Edit |
| Leaning OK | The stack is leaning slightly out of plumb. Although not currently severe, the lean could increase with time, and you should budget for potential reconstruction in the future | 1 | Edit |
| No DPC | Chimneys of this age are unlikely to have a damp-proof course, creating a risk of damp penetration. Ongoing maintenance is required to limit this risk | 2 | Edit |
| Shared Stack | The chimney stack appears to be shared with the adjoining property, and the neighbouring owner may hold rights and responsibilities regarding its maintenance | 3 | Edit |
| Mortar Fillets | The mortar fillets around the chimney stack are susceptible to weathering and decay. They should be monitored and replaced as part of routine maintenance | 4 | Edit |
| Working at Height | Repairs at height can be expensive due to the difficulties of access. Scaffolding may be necessary, and obstructions such as conservatories or extensions can make access more complex and increase costs | 5 | Edit |
