About our flat roof survey in Frogham
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats frequently sit under large flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. Common reasons to book are gaps at upstands and abutments and raised blisters across the surface, across EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets.
Somewhere as small as Frogham, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Flat roofs can’t usually be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. In a small place like Frogham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
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.
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Frogham
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frogham?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Frogham as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Frogham 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.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Local flat roofs in Frogham
With Breamore House about 4 miles north, Frogham sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere as small as Frogham, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
