Hi All,
Ive never done DIY before and our chimney stack is leaking. Some bricks
in the stack are broken and it generally looks like a rebuild is in
order. We have a wood burner running through one pot and Esse gas Aga
type stove that runs through the other. To start off, could an amateur
with no building experience rebuild a chimney? Where could I find a €˜how
to guide? Can anyone recommend any good (and easily understandable) books?
We are basically broke at the moment and I cant afford £1000s to have a
builder do the job.

Difficult to say without much more information. As others have said, as
a first time bricklaying exercise, a chimney is probably not the place
to start.

Having said that, if its just a few broken bricks, then (depending on
where and why they are breken) replacing them is not that difficult to diy.
