About our chimney survey in Mullenspond
Our chimney survey covers the stack and the details that keep water out around it: pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, bricks and the flashings at the roof line. Inside, we check chimney breasts and the stack in the loft where it’s safe to reach. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. It suits a single stack on a house as well as several on a larger building. Common reasons to book are gaps in the mortar around the pots and mortar washing out of the joints, across chimney pots and cowls, chimney breasts and brick chimney stacks.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Where we cannot see part of the chimney stack, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Advice
Local roofs in Mullenspond
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building such as Amport Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney breasts and the loft
Stains on timbers or brickwork around the stack can point to a leak. We record what we see with photos.
Brick stacks
Older brick stacks often have soft lime mortar. Repairs should suit the original materials, which we mention where relevant.
Common roof problems in Mullenspond
TV aerials, satellite dishes and their brackets are often fixed to chimneys. The extra load in wind can work bricks and joints loose. We check fixings on the stack as part of the survey.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Mortar washing out of the joints
- Staining on walls around the chimney
- Frost-damaged brickwork on the stack
- Cracked or missing flaunching
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common questions in Mullenspond
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mullenspond?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
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 applicable. If part of a stack cannot be seen, the report says so.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
How do I book a survey in Mullenspond?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Find out whether changes to a stack need permission
- Make sure fixings on the stack are secure
- Never climb onto the roof to look at a chimney
- Glance at the stacks from the street now and then
If the stack is shared, you can pass the report to your neighbour. The photos show the problem and which side it’s on from the viewpoints we used.
Unused stacks should be capped in a way that still lets air through. Ventilation helps keep the stack dry.
