About our chimney survey in Tyler's Green
A chimney survey looks at the stack and everything around it: pots, cowls, flaunching, pointing, bricks and the flashings at the roof line. We also look for damp on chimney breasts and in the loft where there’s safe access. The findings come in a written report with photos and recommendations. It suits a single stack on a house as well as several on a larger building. We survey flaunching, lead flashings and brick chimney stacks, and people most often book us about gaps where the stack meets the roof and damaged chimney pots and cowls.
In a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the chimney stack on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Local roofs in Tyler's Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Tyler's Green has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 3.9 miles north-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Tyler's Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Tyler's Green?
Yes. Tyler's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Caterham station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
What does a chimney survey cover?
The survey covers the pots and cowls, the flaunching, the pointing, the bricks and the 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.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.

We look from the ground, from windows and from the loft where it is safe. Where it applies, our Premium Survey adds a drone inspection for a closer view. Any area we couldn’t view is noted.
Common roof problems in Tyler's Green
The flaunching on top of a stack holds the pots in place and sheds water. Cracked flaunching lets water in, and each winter makes it worse. Loose pots can follow.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose, cracked or missing pots
- Frost-damaged brickwork on the stack
- Gaps where the stack meets the roof
- Gaps in the mortar around the pots
Take a building like Godstone Village School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check fixings on the stack are secure
- Check unused flues are capped with ventilation
- Never climb onto the roof to look at a chimney
- Check your stacks from the ground after strong winds
You get the report by email and can pass it to whoever does the work. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Unused stacks should be capped in a way that still lets air through. Ventilation helps keep the stack dry.
What affects the cost of chimney surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Why it is worth a survey now in Tyler's Green

For an older or listed building in a place like Tyler's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
