About our new roof snagging in Frogmore
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. Common reasons to book are broken coverings left on a new roof and gaps at new flashings, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Frogmore makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we check them closely.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
When to book a survey in Frogmore
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their track record with similar roofs

Common questions in Frogmore
Will you come out to Frogmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frogmore?
Yes, Frogmore is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Frogmore as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Frogmore?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Why act early in Frogmore
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Around Frogmore, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Frogmore, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Buying a home or a new roof in Frogmore
With High Elms Manor about 2.8 miles south-west, Frogmore sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
