How a chimney survey works in Anglefield Corner
For buyers, a chimney survey before exchange can flag work you may want to raise. On older stacks, we often find cracked flaunching, loose flashings and worn pointing. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it. If you are worried about a chimney out of line and frost-damaged brickwork on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Anglefield Corner are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Anglefield Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: how many stacks, whether any are shared and any signs of damp.
- We inspect each stack from safe viewpoints outside.
- The pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings are checked and photographed.
- We check the chimney breasts and the stack in the loft space where we can reach them.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Landlord and commercial surveys in Anglefield Corner
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Find out whether changes to a stack need permission
- Use the report as a baseline for future checks
- Check that disused chimneys can still breathe
- Glance at the stacks from the street now and then
If the report recommends a structural engineer, a sweep or a Gas Safe registered engineer, it will say why. That helps you brief them.
Have aerial and dish brackets on the stack checked, and moved if they’re working it loose. Removing unused fixings takes strain off the brickwork.
Questions from Anglefield Corner
Do you cover smaller places like Anglefield Corner?
Yes, Anglefield Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Godstone station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check the chimney is safe to use with a fire?
No. We survey the stack and its weathering, not the flue. For the flue, you will need a sweep or, for gas, a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Local roofs in Anglefield Corner
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Evanglist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Godstone station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Structural calculations for a leaning stack
- Hidden damage within the stack
- Gas safety checks, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
