New roof snagging in Frogmore: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church like St Barnabas Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Frogmore is about 1 mile south-west of Sandhurst, in Hampshire. Frogmore gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a proper look at what can safely be seen, photographs and a clear written report. Frogmore is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Reading.

How new roof snagging works in Frogmore
Our snagging inspections cover Frogmore and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and gaps at new flashings.
Houses in smaller places like Frogmore can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need new roof snagging in Frogmore?
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Common reasons to book include:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you let a flat or house near Sandhurst station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Frogmore doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.

Frogmore questions
Is my home in Frogmore listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Frogmore?
Yes. Frogmore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What affects the price in Frogmore
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
