Crack Or Gaps: Visible cracks in the chimney structure may jeopardise integrity.

Leaning or Tilting: A chimney that is leaning may indicate problems with the foundation.

Water Damage: If you see any evidence of water ingress or damp patches inside the home, or in the area surrounding the flue where it emerges from the wall, that is often a sign that the chimney is deteriorating.

Wood Burning Excess Creosote: Large amounts of creosote can indicate inadequate venting, or a flue in poor condition.

The chimney is above a specified height: This is variable according to local authority.

You change the look of the chimney: Any major changes might require approval.

You are in a listed property or conservation area: There are additional rules to help preserve historical integrity.
