When you sell, the roof is one of the first things a buyer's inspector looks at. A pre-sale roof assessment lets you find out what they'll likely find first, on your terms, with a plain-language written assessment letter you can act on before you list.
Most buyers get a building inspection before they go unconditional, and the roof is a common sticking point. If something turns up at that stage, it can knock the price, stall the deal, or hand the buyer the upper hand in negotiation. A pre-sale roof assessment puts that information in your hands first.
We come out, take a roofing-focused look at the visible and accessible areas of your roof, using drone equipment where it helps reach steep or high areas, and give you a plain-language written assessment letter recording what we found. You can then decide what, if anything, to deal with before you list, or go in with a clear picture instead of getting caught out.
You get a practical, roofing-focused assessment letter, photos where they help, and clear next steps. What's covered depends on the property and what we can safely access on the day, so this is a guide rather than a fixed list:
A visual look over the roof, flashings and guttering, to the extent we can see and safely reach them on the day.
A written assessment letter in plain language, recording what we observed on the day.
Practical comments and options on anything worth addressing before you list, or worth being upfront about.
Drone footage where it helps reach steep or high areas without scaffolding.
Photos to help show what we're describing, where they're useful.
Time to act on your terms rather than under pressure mid-negotiation.
The value of a pre-sale check is knowing where you stand, so it's worth being clear about exactly what it covers.
A plain-language written summary of what we observed on the roof. Short, practical, and easy to read at the kitchen table. The point is to give you the same roofing-focused picture a buyer's roofer would build, before the buyer's roofer ever turns up, so you're not blindsided in the conditional period.
The letter format is deliberate. A formal building report covers the whole house in dense report language. An engineering report covers structural specifics with a chartered engineer's stamp. The pre-sale assessment letter is the thing in between: roofing-specific depth, written in language you can use, by someone whose day job is roofs.
To be precise on scope, because that precision is what makes the letter credible: it covers the visible and accessible roof areas as observed on the day. It is not a full building report and not an engineering report, and it's a visual, non-invasive inspection. We don't lift coverings, open ceilings, or carry out moisture testing, and we don't provide a guaranteed leak diagnosis.
What you do with the letter after that is up to you. We don't tell you what you must disclose, that's your call and your lawyer's. You'll just have a clear, factual picture to work from.
You're about to list and want to avoid a roof surprise derailing the sale.
Your home is older or has a complex roofline you can't easily see from the ground.
You want to decide whether to fix or disclose before buyers start their own checks.
You're a vendor or agent who'd rather lead the roof conversation than react to it.
