I'd have thought it more likely to be water running down the chimney? Go into the garden / street and see if you can spot any obvious damage to the chimney stack - missing mortar etc. etc.
Could well be the flashing where the stack meets the roof, but I doubt you'll be able to spot that easily from the ground. Probably worth getting a roofer up there to have a look?

It’s the internal wall between us and next door. It’s pretty thin (certainly sounds it anyway) so I can’t imagine there’s much in the way of piping running through it.
Do I need to find a small boy to stuff down the chimney and take a look?

Cheers, I did wonder if a roofer was the right person, but wasn’t 100% sure they did chimneys or not. I know a guy who knows a roofer guy, so will see if he can take a gander.

So glad I forked out for a level 3 survey for this place. Worth every penny…

To be fair you might be better off calling a chimney sweep - they usually have much more specialist knowledge. With a roofer they may, or may not know what they're looking for with chimneys, although I'd certainly expect them to be able to repair the flashing where the stack joins the roof if that is actually the problem.

I'm not sure this "fits" here but I feel suitably happy with myself after succesfully undertaking my first soldering project.
I fixed the rb/lb switches on my elite series 2 controller and it worked. I did it yesterday which was possibly the worst day of the year to be holding a 400'c soldering iron in my hand and struggling to desolder tiny pieces on a tiny board but I got there in the end (after the kids went to bed).
Appears to be flawlessly working.
Edit: Sorry flawless isn't fully correct, I must not have aligned the controller profile switcher button correctly before reassembly which is enough of a ball ache that there is no way I'm opening it up again to fix. The button technically works and I use it almost never so I'll live with it.
It is gnawing at my brain though...
