Roof survey in Frimley Green: what you get
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and worn or blocked valleys.
In a smaller place like Frimley Green, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

What a roof survey looks like in Frimley Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Frimley Green is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Farnborough North station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Trees in and around Frimley Lodge Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

More services for Frimley Green
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
FAQs for Frimley Green
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Frimley Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Farnborough Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover smaller places like Frimley Green?
Yes. Frimley Green 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 do I arrange a roof survey in Frimley Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We’ll give you an idea of timing when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Frimley Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
