In today's video I will be showing you how I've just replaced a broken chimney pot and ventilation flue.
The old asbestos flue blew off a couple of years ago and I've been meaning to replace it ever since, but have only now finally got round to doing it. The tricky thing was working out how to get up there - at over 8 metres off the ground this wasn't going to be easy. After mulling over a number of options, I finally decided the safest option was to erect a scaffold tower. In this video I show you how I got on!
