- Flue inspections or sweeping
- Checks on boilers, fires or their flues

Chimney survey in Coxhill Green
If a chimney looks out of line, it’s worth getting it checked. A stack may lean because the mortar on one side has weakened, which can happen over many years of use. We record the lean and the condition of the brickwork and pointing. Where it may be a structural concern, we’ll recommend a structural engineer. We survey lead flashings, flaunching and chimney breasts, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or missing flaunching and a chimney out of line.
Some older homes in villages like Coxhill Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Coxhill Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Longcross station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Coxhill Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the chimney stack, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you need to go on the roof to check the chimney?
We use safe viewpoints rather than climbing onto the stack. Where it applies, our Premium Survey adds a drone inspection for a closer view. Any area we couldn’t view is noted.
Is Coxhill Green in your area?
Yes. Coxhill Green is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
Is a chimney survey the same as a flue inspection?
No. Our survey covers the outside of the stack and the roof around it. For the flue, you will need a sweep or, for gas, a Gas Safe registered engineer.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Coxhill Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We go through the chimneys, any damp and any work done on them.
- We look at every stack from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- Inside, the chimney breasts and the loft are checked for damp where there is access.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What affects the cost of chimney surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Some older stacks have mortar fillets instead of lead. They tend to crack, so we look at them closely.
Chimney pots and cowls
Pots sit in the flaunching on top of the stack, and cowls or caps sit on the pots. We check that they look secure and undamaged.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Coxhill Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coxhill Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Homes near green spaces such as Milford Green and Coxhill Green can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Lawrence, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
