October 6, 20215 yr Hello Seeking advice on this issue! We have a chimney in the middle of our house, currently unused and I don't think ever will be. There are three flues, two to old fireplaces in bedrooms, and one to an old fireplace in the kitchen which has been removed. We have had some pigeons fall down the chimney which is obviously lovely in terms of resultant effects... I have spoken to a roofer about coming to cap off the chimney, but I wonder if I should ask them to be doing anything else at the same time. How worried to I need to be about maintaining ventilation (given it's in the middle of the house, not on an external wall)? Am keen to improve insulation where I can also. There is another option to remove the top of the chimney stack to roof level, though can't quite work out whether there are other benefits of that other than not having a chimney stack to maintain. THank you all
