Roof Inspection

Detailed roof surveys and condition reports so you know exactly where you stand.

A roof inspection is a thorough survey of the condition of your roof covering, flashings, guttering and structure, resulting in a clear report of any issues and recommended work.

You cannot fix what you cannot see. A proper inspection catches small problems, such as slipped tiles, failing pointing or blocked valleys, before they turn into expensive water damage inside the home.

Inspections are ideal before buying a property, after a storm, or simply for peace of mind. We check the roof carefully and explain what we find in plain English, with photos where helpful.

What's included

  • Full visual survey of tiles, slates and ridge
  • Inspection of flashings, valleys and abutments
  • Check of guttering, fascias and soffits
  • Assessment of visible roof timbers and ventilation
  • Identification of leaks and their likely source
  • A clear written summary of findings
  • Honest advice and a quote for any work needed
