What we are asked to look at in Rogate
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.
Problems we come across often include:
- Frost-damaged brickwork on the stack
- Unused flues sealed without airflow
- Flaunching that has broken away
- A stack that appears to lean
For landlords with property near Liss station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking anyone

- What’s outside the scope of the survey

About our chimney survey in Rogate
We inspect chimneys from wherever they can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft where there is access. With our Premium Survey, a drone inspection is included where applicable. If we can’t see part of the stack, the report makes that clear. Every defect we find is photographed and described in plain words. If you’re worried about loose, cracked or missing pots and damp on a chimney breast inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Rogate, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why act early in Rogate
Cracked flaunching and worn pointing are frequently 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. Older and listed buildings around Rogate may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Chimney survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Chimney surveys around Rogate
With Uppark about 4.1 miles south-west, Rogate sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like Rogate CofE Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Bartholomew are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Ask for ventilated caps on redundant stacks
- Check with the council before altering a stack in a conservation area or on a listed building
- Keep the report to compare against at the next survey
- Note any damp on chimney breasts and when it appears
If the report recommends a structural engineer, a sweep or a Gas Safe registered engineer, it will say why. That helps you brief them.
Have aerial and dish brackets on the stack checked, and moved if they’re working it loose. Less load on the stack means less strain in wind.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks. In a hamlet or village like Rogate, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- The flashings and the roof around each chimney are inspected.
- We check the flaunching and pots on every stack.
- We note the brickwork, pointing and any sign of leaning.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Your questions about chimney surveys in Rogate
How do I find out if my home in Rogate is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What does a chimney survey cover?
We check the pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings. Inside, we look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos.
Do you look in the loft space?
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.
Can you survey a chimney stack we share with next door?
Yes. Many houses share stacks with a neighbour. We record the stack as far as we can see it and flag anything on the neighbour’s side.
How do I arrange a chimney survey in Rogate?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
