Roof survey in Upper Froyle
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed loose chimney pots and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space alike.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Froyle are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Your report arrives by email. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Upper Froyle, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there’s safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A full building survey of the property
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Upper Froyle
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Eggar's School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
