Chimney survey in Redenham, Hampshire
Chimney surveys across Redenham, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Staining on walls around the chimney
- Bricks with flaking faces
- A stack that appears to lean
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a stack seems to lean, don’t leave it. We record its condition and recommend a structural engineer where needed, so you can decide what to do next. In a place like Redenham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Redenham
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

About our chimney survey in Redenham
If a chimney looks out of line, it’s worth getting it checked. A stack may lean because the mortar on one side has weakened, which can happen over many years of use. We record the lean and the condition of the brickwork and pointing. If the stack looks like a structural issue, the report recommends a structural engineer. We survey brick chimney stacks, flaunching and chimney pots and cowls, and common reasons people get in touch are pots or cowls that look unsafe and gaps in the mortar around the pots.
Somewhere as small as Redenham, 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Common questions in Redenham
Will you come out to Redenham?
Yes. Redenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Redenham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Our stack is shared. Can you still survey it?
Yes. Shared stacks are common on terraced and semi-detached houses. We survey what we can see safely, and note anything that seems to involve next door.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know as you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is a leaning chimney dangerous?
Have it checked rather than leaving it. Stacks can lean when mortar on one side breaks down. We record its condition with photographs, and a structural engineer can assess whether it needs work.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep track of stains on chimney breasts
- Make sure unused flues are capped with ventilation
- Never climb onto the roof to look at a chimney
- Use the report as a baseline for future checks
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each stack. It covers the pots, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings, and any damp we found inside. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Have worn pointing and cracked flaunching dealt with early. It is far simpler than rebuilding a stack later.
What affects the price in Redenham
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Redenham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We go through the chimneys, any damp and any work done on them.
- Each stack is inspected from safe positions outside.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- We look for damp on chimney breasts and in the roof space.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations by email.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What else we do in Redenham
Local roofs in Redenham
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter in the Wood, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Redenham is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Redenham can all book chimney surveys. Our Hampshire coverage includes Redenham and the places around it. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.

What’s near Redenham
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Walnut Tree Inn. The closest station to Redenham is Andover station, about 4 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Ludgershall Castle (2.6 miles north-west) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there is Quarley Hill and Anton Lakes.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
