Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Tattenham Corner
A leaning chimney stack is worth having looked at. A stack may lean because the mortar on one side has weakened, which can happen over many years of use. The survey notes how the stack looks, how far it seems to lean and the state of the bricks and joints. Where it may be a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey chimney breasts, lead flashings and chimney pots and cowls, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the stack meets the roof and pots or cowls that look unsafe.
Older buildings in small places like Tattenham Corner may be 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks.

The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

Tattenham Corner: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tattenham Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Tattenham Corner is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. The report follows by email.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Tattenham Corner homes and their roofs
The wider area around Tattenham Corner has a long history of building, with Fitznells Manor about 3 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Homes near green spaces such as Merland Rise Recreational Ground can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. The streets around a church such as St Mark are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Tattenham Corner station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney breasts and the loft
In the loft, staining around the stack frequently shows where water is getting in. What we find is photographed and described.
Rendered stacks
Cracked render can let water in and trap it behind. Cracks are photographed and noted.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Areas we cannot view from safe positions
- The inside of the flue, which needs a sweep or flue specialist
- Whether a stack needs rebuilding on structural grounds
