About our chimney survey in Badger Farm
Our chimney survey covers the stack and the details that keep water out around it: the pots and cowls, the flaunching on top, the pointing, the brickwork and the flashings where it meets the roof. We also look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there’s safe access. The findings come in a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey single stacks on houses and groups of stacks on bigger buildings. If you are worried about redundant stacks capped without ventilation and damp patches on chimney breasts, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Badger Farm, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Do you need a chimney survey in Badger Farm?
Years of fires can affect the mortar inside a stack. Mortar can deteriorate unevenly from flue gases and moisture, which is one reason stacks start to lean.
Common reasons to book include:
- Pots or cowls that look unsafe
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Redundant stacks capped without ventilation
- Eroded joints in the brickwork
Trees in and around St. Cross Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

FAQs for Badger Farm
How do I find out if my home in Badger Farm is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchester station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What does a chimney survey cover?
The whole stack, as far as it can be seen safely: from the pots and flaunching down to the flashings. Leaning, unused stacks and damp on chimney breasts are recorded too.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. For a survey in Badger Farm, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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 roof space.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations by email.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Around Badger Farm, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Badger Farm
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Badger Farm. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Badger Farm homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Saint Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
