Chimney surveys around Frogmore
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Sandhurst station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live near a park like Sandhurst Memorial Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Chimney survey in Frogmore: what you get
A chimney stands up above the roof, exposed to wind, rain and frost on every side. Over the years, the flaunching cracks, the pointing wears and flashings lift. That lets water into the brickwork, which can show up as damp on a chimney breast or in the roof space. A survey finds these problems and records them with photos. If you are worried about redundant stacks capped without ventilation and frost-damaged brickwork on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Frogmore, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
Where we can’t see part of the chimney stack, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

FAQs for Frogmore
How do I find out if my home in Frogmore 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.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sandhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How can you see the top of the stack?
We use safe viewpoints rather than climbing onto the stack. A drone inspection is part of the Premium Survey where it applies. The report is clear about anything that couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Frogmore?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Is a leaning chimney dangerous?
It’s worth having a leaning stack checked. We record the lean, the brickwork and the pointing, and recommend a structural engineer where it may be a structural concern.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check that disused chimneys can still breathe
- File photos of the stacks with your home records
- Have the flue swept and checked if you use the fire
- Note any damp on chimney breasts and when it appears
With a shared stack, the report can help when talking to next door. The photos show the problem and which side it’s on, as far as we could see.
Keep an eye on chimney breasts for new damp patches. The sooner damp is spotted, the easier the cause is to find.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Frogmore
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Frogmore
Before deciding what to do with a redundant stack, a survey shows how it’s doing. In a conservation area or on a listed building, changes may need permission from the council and the council can advise. In a smaller place like Frogmore, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. A visit to Frogmore is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations by email.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
