Is Chimney Repairs the Right Fix?
Chimney faults are a leading source of Winchester roof leaks because the stack collects wind-driven rain and its lead flashings are often the oldest part of the roof. These are the signs.

Crumbling or missing mortar between the brickwork
Lead flashing lifting, split or missing at the stack base
