No need to apologise for saying it's in a bad state, it's why we hired a roofer. We asked for these tiles to be replaced while we save up for the new roof we know we'll be needing. But this leadwork, is it likely to let water in to that chimney? Am I being fair to say they need to come back and change it for a paver and air brick as it was before when it was taller?

Hi All, So we've had a roofer come and do a few jobs for us one of which was to reduce a chimney that was leaning slightly. It was previously capped with a paver and it had an air brick. I was expecting it to be the same but lower down and instead we have this lead work. I would have thought that for the lead to stop water getting in the chimney, it would have to come down all the faces of the chimney, not stop on the top face. Now, I've already asked for them to come back back as they were supposed to have sorted the tiles in the photo and have cleared the gutters. Before I get my knickers in a twist about the lead work as well, do you think this is going to stop water and animals from getting in that chimney? There's no access from inside the house so I wanted this to be belts and braces and to me it looks like it's we've removed one problem and potentially added another.
