Chimney Survey in Burwood Park
A survey of chimney stacks, pots, flashings and flaunching in Burwood Park, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Damaged chimney pots and cowls

What affects the cost of chimney surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Burwood Park
Redundant chimneys are common, especially where fires have been replaced by central heating. Even when it is not 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. The report sets out what we found and what we recommend. If you’re worried about cracked or missing flaunching and bricks with flaking faces, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Burwood Park may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the chimney stack couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Burwood Park
How do I find out if my home in Burwood Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Walton-On-Thames station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Do you work in Burwood Park?
Yes. We cover Burwood Park and the rest of Surrey. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What does a chimney survey cover?
Every part of the stack we can see from safe positions: from the pots and flaunching down to the flashings. We also note leaning, redundant stacks and damp inside.
Local roofs in Burwood Park
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Burwood Park has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 1.7 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Cleves School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live near a park like West End Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Burwood Park is about 1 mile south-east of Weybridge, in Surrey. Roofs in Burwood Park get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Surrey. Burwood Park is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.
We work across the KT12 and KT13 postcode area for chimney surveys. We cover properties on Chargate Close, Manor House Drive and Eriswell Road and the roads around them.

Close by, we survey roofs in Whiteley Village (1 mile south), St George's Hill (1 mile west), Hersham (1 mile north-east), Weybridge (1 mile north-west) and Walton-on-Thames (2 miles north-east).

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damp in a chimney breast typically gets worse while the cause is left. It can stain walls and damage plaster. Finding the cause means the right work can be planned. Outbuildings and barns around Burwood Park are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. Older rural homes like those around Burwood Park can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- The flashings and the roof around each chimney are inspected.
- We check the flaunching and pots on every stack.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey

Useful tips for Burwood Park property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check with the council before altering a stack in a conservation area or on a listed building
- Leave close inspection to people with safe access
- Make sure fixings on the stack are secure
- Ask for ventilated caps on redundant stacks
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer or builder. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Look at your chimneys from ground level now and then, particularly after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently see cracked flaunching or lifted lead.
Common roof problems in Burwood Park
A stack takes the weather from every direction. Frost works into cracks in the flaunching and pointing, and rain soaks into worn brickwork. Most people book after spotting damp or a loose pot, or before buying.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flashings pulling away from the stack
- Eroded joints in the brickwork
- Signs that a stack is leaning
- Staining on walls around the chimney
If you let a flat or house near Walton-On-Thames station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
