danandpam Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi,We live on Landcroft road in a building that's split between 2 flats. In both flats we're currently we're seeing some small localised damp patches in rooms sharing the chimney stack (see example image attached) that we'd like to get fixed. We're unsure what skillset is needed to best tackle the problem, and it goes without saying we'd like to approach it in the most efficient (both in effort and cost) way possible.Any suggestions very welcome.Many thanks,Dan Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/120319-advice-and-tradesman-request-for-damp-chimney-stack/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsaboy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Is the chimney open? Does it have a free flow of air through it? Is it on an outside wall? These are all things that can cause damp patches.

Herne Hill Guest Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 In the photo here you can see where a filling material has been used previously. They most likely did not use a primer before filling and probably used the wrong filler materials. We all, most of us, do this.
