There's hail coming down my chimney after a major house renovation. What's happening?

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.24 PM

I had a full house renovation and loft conversion recently, and an alcove was created in place of an old gas fire, for a faux wood burning electric stove. I've just heard hail coming down the chimney. Does anyone know what's happening, could this be dangerous, and how can this be investigated /fixed?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
