About our chimney survey in Mundy Bois
A chimney survey is about the outside of the stack and the roof around it. It’s not a flue inspection, a chimney sweep or a gas safety inspection. For the flue itself, you’ll need a sweep or, for gas appliances, a Gas Safe registered engineer. If something we see points to the flue, we’ll say so. If you’ve noticed disused chimneys trapping moisture and a stack that appears to lean, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Mundy Bois, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Mundy Bois questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mundy Bois?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Mundy Bois listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What should I do with a chimney I do not use?
It depends on its condition and your plans. We record how the stack is doing and whether it is capped with ventilation. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need consent.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey a chimney stack we share with next door?
Yes. Many houses share stacks with a neighbour. We survey what we can see safely, and note anything that seems to involve next door.

Checking the roof from the ground
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Chimney surveys in Mundy Bois: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 5 miles east lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Mundy Bois 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 Pluckley station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Egerton Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What we look for on each type of roof
Brick stacks
Older brick stacks often have soft lime mortar. Repairs should suit the original materials, which we mention where relevant.
Rendered stacks
What’s behind the render can’t be seen without removing some, so the report explains what we could and couldn’t assess.
What a chimney survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Parts of the stack that can’t be seen safely or belong to a neighbour we cannot access
- Hidden damage within the stack
- Flue inspections or sweeping
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Mundy Bois
Landlords, agents and building managers in Mundy Bois and across Kent can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. Somewhere as small as Mundy Bois, 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 by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- 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.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
