Chimney survey in Bedfont: what you get
Redundant chimneys are common, especially where fires have been replaced by central heating. Even when it isn’t used, a stack has to stay weathertight. If it has been capped without ventilation, damp can build up inside it. We check how redundant stacks have been capped and look for damp in the chimney breasts. You get photos of each stack and our recommendations. Typical surveys look at frost-damaged brickwork on the stack and unused flues sealed without airflow, across flaunching, chimney breasts and chimney pots and cowls.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Bedfont are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

FAQs for Bedfont
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Bedfont is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Which parts of the chimney do you look at?
The survey covers the pots and cowls, the flaunching, the pointing, the bricks and the flashings. Inside, we look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there is safe access. Everything is written up with photographs.
How do I book a survey in Bedfont?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Why get it checked now?
A loose pot or brick can fall from height. Finding them early means they can be dealt with before they come down by a roofer. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

What this survey can’t tell you
It’s a careful look at the chimney stack, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Hidden sides of a shared stack
- Flue inspections or sweeping
- Gas safety checks, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

Landlords, agents and block managers in Bedfont
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What affects the cost of chimney surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

Bedfont homes and their roofs
About 4.6 miles east lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Bedfont has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Bedfont is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For a London address like Bedfont, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day. Landlords with a home close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you run a business near Treaty Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Surveys in Bedfont can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
