Advice
About our chimney survey in Tourner Bury
Each stack is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft where there is access. A drone inspection is part of our Premium Survey where applicable. Where part of a stack cannot be seen, the report says so. Every defect we find is photographed and described in plain words. Common reasons to book are flashings pulling away from the stack and eroded joints in the brickwork, on shared and party-wall stacks, brick chimney stacks and chimney breasts.
Older buildings in small places like Tourner Bury 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Local roofs in Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mengham Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Warblington station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Do you need a chimney survey in Tourner Bury?
A stack takes the weather from every direction. Frost works into cracks in the flaunching and pointing, and rain soaks into worn brickwork. People typically call us when they notice damp or a problem with the stack, or before a purchase.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damp on a chimney breast inside
- Gaps where the stack meets the roof
- Worn or missing pointing
- Disused chimneys trapping moisture
With Warblington Castle about 3.5 miles north, the area around Tourner Bury has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Before you book any roof surveyor

Why get it checked now?

For older village homes like those around Tourner Bury, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney pots and cowls
Damaged pots are a safety concern as well as a leak risk. We record their condition with photographs.
Flaunching
Sitting at the very top, flaunching is fully exposed. We look for cracks, gaps around the pots and missing pieces.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Ask about consent before removing a chimney on an older property
- Keep track of stains on chimney breasts
- Check unused flues are capped with ventilation
- Look at the chimneys with binoculars after a storm
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer or builder. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Make sure fixings on the stack are sound and taken off if they’re no longer needed. Less load on the stack means less strain in wind.
Your questions about chimney surveys in Tourner Bury
I let a flat near Warblington station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Tourner Bury 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.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What do you check on a chimney?
We check the pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, brickwork and flashings. We also check chimney breasts and the stack in the roof space where we can reach. Everything is written up with photographs.
Is Tourner Bury in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Tourner Bury included.
Can you survey a chimney stack we share with next door?
Yes. We inspect whatever is safely visible and what you give us access to. If a defect seems to be on your neighbour’s side, the report records it and you can raise it with them.
