Chimney Survey in Anmore
Wondering about the chimney stack at a property in Anmore? You can book a chimney survey in Anmore and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Bricks with flaking faces
- Damp patches on chimney breasts
- Flashings pulling away from the stack
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Anmore
A leaning chimney stack is worth having looked at. Stacks can lean when mortar on one side breaks down, frequently after years of flue gases and damp. We record the lean and the condition of the brickwork and pointing. If the stack looks like a structural issue, the report recommends a structural engineer. We’re often asked to look into redundant stacks capped without ventilation and gaps in the mortar around the pots, across chimney breasts, shared and party-wall stacks and lead flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Anmore are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Anmore, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First we talk through the stacks, their history and any problems.
- We check every stack from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked and photographed.
- Inside, the chimney breasts and the loft are checked for damp where there’s access.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leaning stack should be looked at sooner rather than later. We record its condition and recommend a structural engineer where needed, so you can decide what to do next. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Anmore, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

When to book a survey in Anmore
Some owners book because a chimney breast has been removed below and they want to know about the stack above. We record what we can see in the loft and outside, and the report recommends a structural engineer if support is a concern.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Pots or cowls that look unsafe
- A chimney out of line
- Disused chimneys trapping moisture
- Gaps in the mortar around the pots
Anyone responsible for a site like Denmead Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
What affects the price in Anmore
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Anmore
Is the coastal weather around Anmore hard on roofs?
It can do. Anmore is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
I let a flat near Bedhampton station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Chimney surveys in Anmore: local notes
Anmore is within about 4 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Bedhampton station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
