How we price chimney surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Fisher's Pond
A chimney survey looks at the stack and everything around it: the pots and cowls, the flaunching on top, the pointing, the brickwork and the flashings where it meets the roof. Inside, we check chimney breasts and the stack in the loft where it’s safe to reach. The findings come in a written report with photos and recommendations. It suits a single stack on a house as well as several on a larger building. We survey brick chimney stacks, lead flashings and chimney breasts, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the stack meets the roof and a chimney out of line.
Somewhere as small as Fisher's Pond, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What’s inside the brickwork or behind render, without opening up
- The inside of the flue, which needs a sweep or flue specialist
- Parts of the stack that can’t be seen safely or belong to a neighbour we cannot access

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks. Somewhere like Fisher's Pond needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- We check the roof around each stack, including the flashings.
- The top of each stack is checked for cracked flaunching and loose pots.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What a chimney survey looks like in Fisher's Pond
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 4.6 miles south-west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Fisher's Pond has been built on. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like Colden Common Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Fisher's Pond: your questions answered
Will you come out to Fisher's Pond?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Fisher's Pond is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Should a redundant chimney be removed?
It depends on its condition and your plans. The survey shows its condition and how it’s been capped. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need consent.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Other services in Fisher's Pond
Different roofs, different checks
Rendered stacks
Some stacks are rendered, which can hide the condition of the brickwork beneath. We look for cracks, hollow areas and staining.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift in wind or pull out of their mortar joints. We photograph any we find that look loose or damaged.
When to book a survey in Fisher's Pond
Chimney stacks stand above the roof, exposed to wind, rain and frost on every side. Frost works into cracks in the flaunching and pointing, and rain soaks into worn brickwork. People usually call us when they notice damp or a problem with the stack, or before a purchase.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the mortar around the pots
- Redundant stacks capped without ventilation
- Bricks with flaking faces
- Damp patches on chimney breasts
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
