Chimney Survey in Tuesley
A survey of chimney stacks, pots, flashings and flaunching in Tuesley. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Worn or missing pointing
- Pots or cowls that look unsafe
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
About our chimney survey in Tuesley
A chimney stands up above the roof, exposed to wind, rain and frost on every side. In time, flaunching cracks, mortar washes out and flashings come loose. That lets water into the brickwork, which can show up as damp on a chimney breast or in the loft space. A survey finds these problems and records them with photographs. If you are worried about redundant stacks capped without ventilation and cracked or missing flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared and party-wall stacks, chimney breasts and lead flashings alike.
Older buildings in small places like Tuesley 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Questions from Tuesley
How do I find out if my home in Tuesley is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Milford (Surrey) station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How can you see the top of the stack?
We look from the ground, from windows and from the loft where it is safe. A drone inspection is part of the Premium Survey where it applies. The report is clear about anything that couldn’t be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What does a chimney survey cover?
Every part of the stack we can see from safe positions: from the pots and flaunching down to the flashings. We also note leaning, redundant stacks and damp inside.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What happens after the survey?
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.
Prices for chimney surveys in Tuesley
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

- The kind of building and roof involved

What a chimney survey looks like in Tuesley
With Loseley Park about 3.4 miles north, Tuesley sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Godalming College: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Homes near green spaces such as Phillips Memorial Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St John the Evangelist's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Tuesley is about 6 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. In Tuesley, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Remove aerials or dishes from the stack if they’re no longer needed
- Leave close inspection to people with safe access
- Find out whether changes to a stack need permission
- Have the flue swept and checked if you use the fire
With a shared stack, the report can help when talking to next door. It shows what we found and where, as far as we could see.
Have worn pointing and cracked flaunching dealt with early. It’s far simpler than rebuilding a stack later.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Landlords and agents in Tuesley book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the chimney stack, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small amount of repointing or new flaunching is normally a modest job. Leave it, and frost can work the stack loose and the job gets bigger. In a small place like Tuesley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the chimney stack as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. Cottages and farmhouses around Tuesley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we talk through the stacks, their history and any problems.
- We check every stack from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- We look for damp on chimney breasts and in the roof space.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
