Pre-purchase roof surveys for homes and businesses in Frogham
We survey roofs for buyers in Frogham and across London and South East England. Whether it’s a terrace, a semi, a detached house or a flat, the roof gets the same careful look. The report says what’s in good order, what isn’t and what to deal with first. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, with more than 20 years’ experience behind us. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you’ve noticed lead that has worked loose at a wall or chimney and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Frogham, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
On a slate roof, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all on very old roofs. Where we can see it from the loft, we say what condition it is in.
Gutters and parapets
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, normally to the back of the house. If the home you’re buying has one, that gutter and its outlet get a careful look.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a pre-purchase roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Ask whether there are papers for past roof work
- Find out whether the roof has been replaced or patched
- Check the lease for roof repair responsibilities
- Give your solicitor a copy of the report
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are set out in plain English, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up, wetting timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents so air can move.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Frogham frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey to suit the home you are buying.
- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Standard and Premium surveys add the extra checks they include.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey

Advice
Do you need a pre-purchase roof survey in Frogham?
Buildings put up or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Cement roof sheets, soffits and flue pipes are typical places to find it. We do not carry out asbestos surveys, but our report flags materials that could contain it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before anything is disturbed.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ponding, blisters or splits on a flat roof
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or gone
- Flashings that have lifted or split
- Old water stains in the loft space
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
Why it’s worth a survey now in Frogham
Without a survey, you’re relying on a glance from the pavement. That will not show slipped slates on the rear slope, a worn valley or cracked flaunching. We fill that gap before you’re tied in, with photos of anything that needs attention. 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.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys seven days a week
- PI and public liability insurance
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Common questions in Frogham
Is Frogham in the area you cover?
Yes, Frogham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Frogham?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can I take the findings back to the seller?
Yes, you can. The report sets out what we found, with photos, which you can share with the seller or agent. We can’t promise how the seller will respond.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
