When you consider the temps in that fire the mortar may indeed be compromised but if it was only the roof burning then the walls and buttresses may not have gotten all that hot.

The rebuild is going to be a stunning effort. Of course modern techniques will be used but how many craftsmen have the skills to do that work?
