    Chimney leaking

    When it rains water drips down my chimney. I think there is a plastic cap on top that’s supposed to keep rain out as the chimney is not used. I thought rain was going sideways through the slats on the chimney pot but it happens when the rain is going straight down so I think it might need looking at but who do I call?

    Joins on lining paper over thermal lining

    Hi, I’m confused because when I hang lining paper I can achieve a good finish, I very rarely see any joint and I can’t figure out why if I hang lining paper on graphite thermal wall lining which has a kind of paper on it, I have joint problems! When I paper over it I seal the paper on wall lining, then hang lining paper and it looks the same as it would on just plaster. It’s when I emulsion that I can’t understand because it shows every joint not as a gap but it’s as if the paint builds up on joints. I was thinking paint may be lifting joins but then none appear lifted when looking closely. Also, why would they lift if stuck with the same ready-mixed adhesive used for plastered walls and recommended for the thermal lining? Like I say there is no appearance of joint not stuck, just looks like a build-up of paint on the joint?
