In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Areas we can’t view from safe positions
- Whether the flue is safe to use
- What’s inside the brickwork or behind render, without opening up
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

About our chimney survey in Nyewood
Damp on a chimney breast can have several causes. It might come in at the top, through worn pointing or porous bricks, or where the flashings meet the roof. Condensation inside an unventilated stack is another common cause. Our survey checks each of these and records the likely cause. That points the work in the right direction. If you are worried about a chimney out of line and spalled or crumbling bricks, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Nyewood are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why get it checked now?
A loose pot or brick can fall from height. A survey picks them out so they can be made safe by a suitable contractor. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Local roofs in Nyewood
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Uppark, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nyewood. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Your questions about chimney surveys in Nyewood
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nyewood?
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.
Will you come out to Nyewood?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
How do I arrange a chimney survey in Nyewood?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Should I worry about a leaning stack?
It is worth having a leaning stack checked. Our survey notes how it looks and the condition of the bricks and joints, and if it may be a structural issue, we recommend a structural engineer.
What should I do with a chimney I do not use?
There is no single answer. We record how the stack is doing and whether it’s capped with ventilation. If you are thinking of removing it, check with the council first in a conservation area or on a listed building.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Nyewood
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the chimney stack as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Nyewood can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us how many stacks there are and any damp or problems you’ve noticed.
- Each chimney is viewed from wherever it can safely be seen.
- The pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings are checked and photographed.
- We check the chimney breasts and the stack in the roof space where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects found and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check with the council before altering a stack in a conservation area or on a listed building
- Don’t use a ladder to reach the stack yourself
- Glance at the stacks from the street now and then
- Check that disused chimneys can still breathe
You can send the report to roofers or builders for quotes. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare.
Look at your chimneys from ground level now and then, particularly after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot loose pots, missing mortar or lifted flashings.
