Chimney Survey in Barton Stacey
A careful look at the chimney stack at your property in Barton Stacey, with photographs and a written report.
- Pots or cowls that look unsafe
- Mortar washing out of the joints
- A stack that appears to lean
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. In a small place like Barton Stacey, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We go through the chimneys, any damp and any work done on them.
- We check every stack from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked and photographed.
- Inside, the chimney breasts and the loft are checked for damp where there is access.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations by email.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Chimney survey in Barton Stacey: what you get
Many terraced and semi-detached homes share their chimney stacks with a neighbour. We inspect the parts we can see safely and the parts the owner gives us access to. If a defect appears to be on the neighbour’s side, we note it and you can then discuss it with them. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. Common reasons to book are a stack that appears to lean and eroded joints in the brickwork, across shared and party-wall stacks, chimney pots and cowls and chimney breasts.
In a village or hamlet like Barton Stacey, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the chimney stack as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we are asked to look at in Barton Stacey
Years of fires can affect the mortar inside a stack. Flue gases and damp can break down the mortar, sometimes more on one side than the other, which can make a stack lean.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose, cracked or missing pots
- Worn or missing pointing
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Frost-damaged brickwork on the stack
Landlords with a home close to Micheldever station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Are they insured for the work?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A damp chimney breast seldom dries out until the cause is found. It can stain walls and damage plaster. Finding the cause means the right work can be planned. Older and listed buildings around Barton Stacey may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Chimney surveys around Barton Stacey
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Questions from Barton Stacey
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Barton Stacey?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Why is my chimney breast damp?
It can come from several places: cracked flaunching, worn pointing, failed flashings, uncapped pots, or damp trapped in an unventilated stack. Our survey checks each of these and records the likely cause.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Should a redundant chimney be removed?
There’s no single answer. We record how the stack is doing and whether it’s capped with ventilation. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need consent.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the chimney stack, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Flue inspections or sweeping
- Structural calculations for a leaning stack
- Parts of the stack that cannot be seen safely or belong to a neighbour we cannot access
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
