About our chimney survey in Deepcut
Each stack is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, nearby windows and higher points, and the loft space where it’s safe. With our Premium Survey, a drone inspection is included where it applies. Where part of a stack can’t be seen, the report says so. Each defect is recorded with a photo and a plain description. If you’ve noticed frost-damaged brickwork on the stack and staining on walls around the chimney, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Deepcut, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Roof by roof
Brick stacks
Most chimney stacks are built of brick, with mortar joints that wear over time. The survey looks for crumbling bricks and worn or missing mortar.
Rendered stacks
We cannot see the bricks behind render without it being opened up, so the report says what can and can’t be judged.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether a stack needs rebuilding on structural grounds
- Hidden sides of a shared stack
- Whether a gas appliance or its flue is safe
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

What else we do in Deepcut
Chimney surveys in Deepcut: local notes
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Farnborough North station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Deepcut
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnborough North station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover Deepcut?
Yes, Deepcut is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the chimney stack, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Use the report as a baseline for future checks
- Leave close inspection to people with safe access
- Remove aerials or dishes from the stack if they’re no longer needed
- Ask about consent before removing a chimney on an older property
Many people use the report to get quotes for the work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare.
Check fixings on the stack are sound, and moved if they’re working it loose. Removing unused fixings takes strain off the brickwork.
Common roof problems in Deepcut
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.
Signs worth acting on include:
- A stack that appears to lean
- Cracked or missing flaunching
- Spalled or crumbling bricks
- Redundant stacks capped without ventilation
Homes near green spaces such as Frimley Lodge Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Deepcut, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You tell us whether any stacks are shared, unused or leaning.
- The flashings and the roof around each chimney are inspected.
- The top of each stack is checked for cracked flaunching and loose pots.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- You receive a written report setting out what needs attention first.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
