@readiescardsJust read through this sorry saga and am now left hanging! Did you sort it out in the end? I certainly hope so, what an awful thing to go through!

Thanks @mjsx it is still ongoing and indeed is the source of waking up in the night 'thinking WTF did I use that builder'?

We have had the chimneys rebuilt by another builder after lots of investigations and expensive reports, this seems to have made the situation better - with only minimal drips in the recent November storms.  (It certainly has improved the log burner having removed the damp vermiculite).
