What kind of chiminey and what kind of repair? If the chimney is completly brick and the repair was to fix the brick structure; I have a vauge memory of an alternate. If I recall correctly, there are methods to put a liner inside the original chimney. Basicly simply puting a new metal pipe chiminey inside the brick one. One would assume this is much easier and cheaper then getting into the masonery to fix the brick structure.
