Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Frogham
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you’ve noticed debris building up in roof valleys and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Frogham needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Let us know about past leaks
- Photograph stains when they appear
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we can’t see
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Frogham: your questions answered
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.
Will you come out to Frogham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.

Roof surveys in Frogham: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 4 miles north, show how far back building around Frogham goes. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

When to book a survey in Frogham
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs

- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Their track record with similar roofs
