Chimney survey in Crookham Village, Hampshire
Wondering about the chimney stack at a property in Crookham Village? You can book a chimney survey in Crookham Village and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Gaps in the mortar around the pots
- Redundant stacks capped without ventilation
- Gaps where the stack meets the roof
Signs you need a chimney survey in Crookham Village
Removing a chimney breast inside can leave questions about how the stack is supported. We note what’s visible in the roof space and outside, and the report recommends a structural engineer if support is a concern.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps where the stack meets the roof
- Unused flues sealed without airflow
- Mortar washing out of the joints
- Bricks with flaking faces
If you live near a park such as Calthorpe Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Chimney survey in Crookham Village: what you get
If a chimney looks out of line, it is worth getting it checked. Stacks can lean when mortar on one side breaks down, often after years of flue gases and damp. 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 flaunching, chimney breasts and shared and party-wall stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are pots or cowls that look unsafe and disused chimneys trapping moisture.
In a village or hamlet like Crookham Village, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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 is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Crookham Village, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know whether any stacks are shared, unused or leaning.
- We check the roof around each stack, including the flashings.
- The top of each stack is checked for cracked flaunching and loose pots.
- We note the brickwork, pointing and any sign of leaning.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey

When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Structural calculations for a leaning stack
- Areas we cannot view from safe positions
- The inside of the flue, which needs a sweep or flue specialist
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

What a chimney survey looks like in Crookham Village
The wider area around Crookham Village has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4.5 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church like All Saints' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Why it is worth a survey now in Crookham Village
If a stack seems to lean, do not leave it. Our survey records it and says when a structural engineer should look at it, so you know where you stand. In a place like Crookham Village, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What causes damp on a chimney breast?
Damp on a chimney breast normally means water is getting into the stack, or moisture is trapped inside it. The survey looks at the stack, the flashings and the capping and records the likely cause.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What’s in the report?

Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Crookham Village
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
