What to do With Loose Bricks Found in Chimney Breast
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2018 11:56 am
I've just started removing the plaster from my chimney breast to expose the bricks and have found a number of cracked and, more worryingly, completely loose bricks (photo attached).
Can I just mortar these back in place, or is this indicative of the something more serious? I'm worried about the whole chimney breast collapsing (along with the chimney stack) if I do too much to it.
Thanks!
