Chimney survey in Windsor and Maidenhead: how it works
Each stack is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft where there is access. With our Premium Survey, a drone inspection is included where it applies. If we can’t see part of the stack, the report makes that clear. Every defect we find is photographed and described in plain words. Common reasons to book are signs that a stack is leaning and disused chimneys trapping moisture, across lead flashings, shared and party-wall stacks and flaunching.
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack.
- First we talk through the stacks, their history and any problems.
- Each stack is inspected from safe positions outside.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- We look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft space.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, is emailed to you.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across Windsor and Maidenhead
Windsor and Maidenhead has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked, wherever they are in Windsor and Maidenhead.
We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Windsor and Maidenhead is part of that. London and South East England have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.
Maidenhead: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Claires Court Schools, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints' Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leaning stack should be looked at sooner rather than later. Our survey records it and says when a structural engineer should look at it, so you know where you stand.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we are asked to look at in Windsor and Maidenhead
Many chimneys are no longer used. If a stack is capped or blocked without ventilation, moisture can build up inside. That can lead to damp patches on chimney breasts, even with the roof in good order.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flaunching that has broken away
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Eroded joints in the brickwork
- Bricks with flaking faces

What affects the cost of chimney surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
FAQs for Windsor and Maidenhead
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey a chimney stack we share with next door?
Yes. Shared stacks are common on terraced and semi-detached houses. We record the stack as far as we can see it and flag anything on the neighbour’s side.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
