looking for opinions on degrees of fuckedness of our chimney
we received a note from our neighbour who we share the chimney with WRT getting work done on the shared chimney (UK), from the ground it looks in relatively good condition so I sent the drone up. we have been quoted £14000 for a chimney tear down, disposal and rebuild and want to check we're not getting taken for a ride and there arent cheaper alternatives. weve reached out to a structual surveyor to inspect but wont be super soon id wager we are the side with the teracotta pots still installed vs neigbours plastic flues, we dont use the chimney at all, id guess neigbours are using it for their boiler but also do not use their fireplaces. any guidance as to the quote (£14,000 for tear down, disposal and removal) the reasonableness of that position (is it really necessary) and anyt cheaper alternatives (expecting a baby in 3 months and really dont want to spend all of our savings on a home repair just before maternity leave!
