Leaking chimney

Okay if he capped your chimney and it leaked without any rain after he came back to repair a crack which he should had done when capping this it is because chimney likes to breath AKA it’s sweating on the inside you need an air brick or two at the bottom and at the top it’s never a good idea to completely seal off the chimney. If possible you want the fire place inside left open again to allow air to flow but at a minimal you want some air bricks at the bottom and top. Hope you get this resolved - He clearly hasn’t got a clue “it ain’t rained so cant be leaking” honestly got me in stitches roofing 1.01 is learning about roofs needing ventilation otherwise they sweat out like we would if we were sealed off in a room on a hot day without any air flow...

Leaks are quite tricky but if you are sure that water is coming down the chimney then the flashing/soakers must be checked, has it been capped correctly? have you had any photographic evidence from your previous roofer? The best and only way is to find a roofer here with a large amount of positive feedback (at least 50), if possible 100% positive. It needs to be looked at. I hope this helps, good luck.

Hi the only thing I can think of is that when the other tradesman was up on your roof is he could of cracked some tiles I can come and investigate the issue feel free to message me

I agree with all the answers. Ventilation is the key. Same as cavity wall/loft insulation , if you dont fit roof vents, your going to have condensation issues. The chimney could still have issues , ie flashings, soakers, pointing or sagging underfelt, which all should of been checked. Our roofer sounds like a chancer
