Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Froxfield Green
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We’re often asked to look into cracked mortar along the ridge and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, on ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Froxfield Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Froxfield Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Froxfield Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For older village homes like those around Froxfield Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

When to book a survey in Froxfield Green
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter on the Green, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What affects the price in Froxfield Green
To price your survey, we look at:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Froxfield Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Let us know about past leaks
- Photograph stains when they appear
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- The roof space
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Natural slate
Local roofs in Froxfield 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like Froxfield Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
