Is $380 to repair my chimney including re-haunching, sealing lead, and applying waterproof coating a fair price?
Project Details
I was having some blistering on the paint in my bedroom. The wall has a chimney breast behind it and I taped up the chimney opening about 2 years ago and stopped using it, which caused some damp to build up in the chimney. I have now started using the fire again and I can’t smell damp anymore.
