Wet chimney & top of rafters, exterior bedroom ceiling wet mouldy end to end dripping down wall

Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.39 PM

I’ve posted photos here for quotes. I’ve noticed after snow cold weather that bedroom ceiling from end to end width of room the exterior wall end is wet condensation little mould drips of water on ceiling running down exterior wall in bedroom. Been up loft noticed chimney stack is wet rafter from top of roof stack look wet and all rafter look like previous water stains running down. Can’t locate any fresh water at lower end of rafters above the bedroom ceiling. Gable hip tiles look damaged. Chimney stack has missing bricks on outer corner and stack looks like mortar is eroded out. Do I need urgent chimney repair? Any ideas ? Flashing ? Gables tiles ? Do I need a professional lead roofer tradesman ? Advice needed please.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
