About our new roof snagging in Frogham
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges alike.
Older buildings in small places like Frogham may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Frogham
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it’s applicable. For an older or listed building in a place like Frogham, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Diary the defects period end date
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
What affects the price in Frogham
To price your survey, we check:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Frogham, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey

Signs you need new roof snagging in Frogham
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.

- Gaps at new flashings
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
If you own a rental within reach of Snowdown station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

New roof snagging in Frogham: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Goodnestone Park about 2.4 miles north, Frogham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Frogham: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Frogham is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Do you cover Frogham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Frogham is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
