Chimney survey in Boorley Green: 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, so you can talk to them. Everything is written up with photos and our recommendations. Common reasons to book are a chimney out of line and gaps where the stack meets the roof, on shared and party-wall stacks, chimney breasts and brick chimney stacks.
Around Boorley Green, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
What you get is a clear record of the chimney stack on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Boorley Green
Is my home in Boorley Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Boorley Green?
It can do. Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift in wind or pull out of their mortar joints. We photograph any we find that look loose or damaged.
Chimney breasts and the loft
If a chimney breast has been removed below, we note what we can see of the support above. A structural engineer should confirm whether it is adequate.

Local roofs in Boorley Green
Boorley Green lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. About 4.3 miles west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Boorley Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building like Berrywood Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark like St Luke's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Hedge End station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. For a survey in Boorley Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the details: how many stacks, whether any are shared and any signs of damp.
- The stacks are looked at from ground level, from windows and from other safe vantage points.
- Every part we can see is checked: pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, bricks and flashings.
- Inside, we look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there’s safe access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Loose pots and bricks on a stack are a safety concern. A survey picks them out so they can be made safe by a suitable contractor. Homes in smaller places like Boorley Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
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.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
