Chimney survey in Wolverton Common, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the chimney stack at your property in Wolverton Common, with photographs and a written report.
- Pots or cowls that look unsafe
- Worn or missing pointing

How we price chimney surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Roof area
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:

Chimney survey in Wolverton Common
Many homes have chimneys that are no longer used. A disused stack still needs looking after. Capping a stack without ventilation can trap moisture and lead to damp inside. We check how redundant stacks have been capped and look for damp in the chimney breasts. The report sets out what we found and what we recommend. We survey flaunching, chimney breasts and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or missing flaunching and loose, cracked or missing pots.
Older buildings in small places like Wolverton Common 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before deciding what to do with a redundant stack, a survey shows how it is doing. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need permission from the council, so check with them first. Older and listed buildings around Wolverton Common may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Wolverton Common homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hurst School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of St Catherine: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What we cannot see
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Flue inspections or sweeping
- Gas safety checks, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Hidden damage within the stack

If a chimney breast has been removed below, we note what we can see of the support above. Confirming the support is a job for a structural engineer.
Wolverton Common questions
How do I find out if my home in Wolverton Common is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Wolverton Common?
Yes, Wolverton Common is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is a leaning chimney dangerous?
A leaning stack should be looked at. Our survey notes how it looks and the condition of the bricks and joints, and recommend a structural engineer where it may be a structural concern.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know 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 an hour or two for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks. Somewhere like Wolverton Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by noting which stacks are in use, shared or causing concern.
- The flashings and the roof around each chimney are inspected.
- We look at the flaunching and pots on every stack.
- Any lean, spalling or worn pointing is recorded.
- You receive a written report setting out what needs attention first.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
