    Missing Flashing Causing Leak Repaired With Cement?

    Our landlord got a contractor out to fix the flashing on our top floor flat chimney that was missing and causing water to pour down our wall during a storm (the whole flashing on the side was gone). I had a look today and it looks like they have just covered the bottom of the chimney with some cement mix, they haven't replaced the flashing at all. I'm a bit worried due to the age of the property (its a 1900s building) and hot/cold weather that it is going to crack and we will be back to square one. Can anyone advise? I don't want to finally paint/decorate our living room after almost 12 months just to have it get ruined again!
