Felderland Chimney Survey
We carry out chimney surveys in Felderland and the rest of Kent. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Bricks with flaking faces
- Damp patches on chimney breasts
- Flashings pulling away from the stack
How we price chimney surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Chimney survey in Felderland: 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. Where a problem seems to involve a neighbour’s side, the report records it, so you can talk to them. Everything is written up with photos and what we recommend. We survey chimney pots and cowls, lead flashings and shared and party-wall stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are frost-damaged brickwork on the stack and gaps where the stack meets the roof.
In a small place like Felderland, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in 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, whichever applies.

What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Hidden sides of a shared stack
- Whether a gas appliance or its flue is safe

Surveys for landlords and agents in Felderland
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Local roofs in Felderland
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Felderland, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. About 4.7 miles west lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Felderland has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Sandwich Technology School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Felderland is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. In Felderland, as across Kent, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Kent. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Felderland, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: how many stacks, whether any are shared and any signs of damp.
- We inspect each stack from safe viewpoints outside.
- Every part we can see is looked at: pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, bricks and flashings.
- Where there is safe access, we check the stack in the loft and the chimney breasts for damp.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects found and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Your questions about chimney surveys in Felderland
Is my home in Felderland listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you need to go on the roof to check the chimney?
We inspect from wherever is safe: from ground level, windows and vantage points, and from the loft where there’s access. A drone inspection is included in our Premium Survey where it applies. If part of a stack can’t be seen, the report says so.
How do I arrange a chimney survey in Felderland?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the chimney stack, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How much does a chimney survey cost in Felderland?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.

Why act early in Felderland
Most people never get a proper look at their chimney stacks. Defects tend to go unseen until there is a stain. Surveying the stack now can catch problems first. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What we are asked to look at in Felderland
Many chimneys are no longer used. A stack sealed without ventilation can trap damp. Damp patches can appear on chimney breasts even when nothing is leaking.
Common reasons to book include:
- Frost-damaged brickwork on the stack
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Mortar washing out of the joints
- Damp patches on chimney breasts
If you live near a park such as Ham Fen, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Before booking any roof surveyor
