Chimney Survey in Moneyrow Green
Chimney surveys across Moneyrow Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Mortar washing out of the joints
- Unused flues sealed without airflow
- Gaps in the mortar around the pots
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Moneyrow Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we talk through the stacks, their history and any problems.
- We look at every stack from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- We look for damp on chimney breasts and in the roof space.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Chimney survey in Moneyrow Green
Our survey covers the structure of the stack and its weathering details. It isn’t a flue inspection, a sweep or a gas safety check. If you use a fire or a gas appliance, the flue should be checked by a sweep or a Gas Safe registered engineer as appropriate. If something we see points to the flue, we will say so. If you’re worried about staining on walls around the chimney and a chimney out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Moneyrow Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:

- Hidden sides of a shared stack

What a chimney survey looks like in Moneyrow Green
Dorney Court, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Moneyrow Green. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyport CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Moneyrow Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Moneyrow Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Moneyrow Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What should I do with a chimney I don’t use?
A redundant chimney needs looking after like any other. Capping without airflow can lead to damp. We check how it is capped and its condition, so you can decide with a builder what to do.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
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. Our Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable. We note anything we couldn’t see.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Moneyrow Green
Cracked flaunching and worn pointing are often modest repairs when they’re caught early. Left for a few winters, frost and water can loosen pots and bricks and the job gets bigger. In a small place like Moneyrow Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Signs you need a chimney survey in Moneyrow Green
Many chimneys are no longer used. A stack sealed without ventilation can trap damp. That can lead to damp patches on chimney breasts, even with the roof in good order.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Disused chimneys trapping moisture
- Bricks with flaking faces
- Signs that a stack is leaning
- Eroded joints in the brickwork
Homes near green spaces such as Ockwells Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
