Good questions
The usual culprits are worn flashing where the stack meets the roof, porous or cracked brickwork, failed flaunching or an uncapped flue.

Yes. A disused flue can be capped while still allowing some ventilation to prevent condensation inside.
Most chimney work needs scaffolding or a chimney access system for safety. It’s included in your quote.
Removal can be possible, but it may need structural checks and permissions. Tell us about it and we’ll discuss what’s involved.
