Local roofs in Frogham
Breamore House, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frogham. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How a landlord roof survey works in Frogham
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are blocked gutters over flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
In a small place like Frogham, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Frogham needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Common questions in Frogham
Is my home in Frogham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Frogham?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Frogham is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Frogham
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their insurance cover
- What they won’t be able to tell you

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
