How is your roof holding up?
You don't have to be buying, selling, or chasing a claim to want a clear read on your roof. It's also the place to start when you're not sure which assessment you need, or your reason doesn't fit the other services. We take a roofing-focused look at the visible and accessible areas, then set out what we found in a written assessment letter you can plan and budget from.
A condition check you can plan around.
Maybe there's a stain on a ceiling, a flashing that looks like it has lifted, or the roof has been out of sight and out of mind for years. A general roof assessment is a roofing-focused look at the visible and accessible areas, with no sale or claim attached.
We look over the roof surface, the fixings, the flashings, the penetrations where pipes and vents come through, and the guttering, as far as we can see and safely reach. Drone equipment helps with the higher or steeper sections. Then we set out what needs attention now and what to keep an eye on, so you can plan the work and budget for it.
What the visit covers.
How much we cover depends on the roof and safe access on the day. Use the list below as a guide:
A look across the roof surface, its fixings, flashings and penetrations, within what we can safely reach on the day.
Drone access where it helps reach steep or high sections without scaffolding.
A written assessment letter setting out what we observed on the day.
Practical notes on what needs attention now and what can wait.
Photos of the areas that matter, so the letter is easy to follow.
You're welcome on site to talk it through as we go.
Roof-specific, not the whole-house workup.
You don't need a full-house inspection to understand the roof. You need someone who works on roofs to look at yours and say what they find.
What you get in writing
A written summary of what we saw on the roof, with practical notes on anything worth knowing about and photos where they make the point clearer. It reads in about ten minutes.
It is not a full building report and not an engineering report. A building report covers the whole house; an engineering report carries a chartered engineer's stamp on structural specifics. This sits between the two for the roof: roofing depth, written by people who work on roofs, in language you can act on.
Scope: it covers the visible and accessible roof areas only, as seen on the day. We report what we can see rather than guess at what we can't. If you have a leak, we point out the visible signs and what they might mean, but this is not a guaranteed leak diagnosis. Finding a source is often a process of elimination, and if something needs a closer or specialist look, we say so and point you the right way.
When a check-up makes sense.
A stain or damp patch on a ceiling has you wondering about the roof above it.
A storm has been through and you want the roof looked over.
The roof has been out of mind for years and you would rather catch a problem early.
You manage a rental and want the roof checked between tenancies.
You're not sure which assessment you need, or your reason isn't covered by the other services.
