Chimney survey in Shepperton Green: what you get
Redundant chimneys are common, particularly where fires have been replaced by central heating. Even when it isn’t used, a stack has to stay weathertight. If it has been capped without ventilation, damp can build up inside it. Our survey looks at how each unused stack has been capped and checks the breasts for damp. The report sets out what we found and what we recommend. If you’ve noticed gaps where the stack meets the roof and bricks with flaking faces, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Shepperton Green, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Questions from Shepperton Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shepperton station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Shepperton Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the chimney stack, any defects and our recommendations, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Shepperton Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- We check the roof around each stack, including the flashings.
- The top of each stack is checked for cracked flaunching and loose pots.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- You receive a written report setting out what needs attention first.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
What a chimney survey looks like in Shepperton Green
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.6 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Shepperton Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Shepperton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Saxon Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What affects the cost of chimney surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Shepperton Green. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before deciding what to do with a redundant stack, a survey shows how it’s doing. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need permission from the council, so check with them first. In a smaller place like Shepperton Green, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Remove aerials or dishes from the stack if they’re no longer needed
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check your stacks from the ground after strong winds
- Have the flue swept and checked if you use the fire
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Check fixings on the stack are sound and taken off if they’re no longer needed. Removing unused fixings takes strain off the brickwork.
