What you get

  • • Documented findings covering ridge, hips, valleys, verges, flashings, chimneys, roofline and gutters.
  • • Clear recommendation — repair vs replace — with reasoning.
  • • Photography and, where applicable, annotated drone imagery.
  • • A scoped quote where remedial works are recommended.

What the written report contains

  • • Property description, date, weather conditions and the inspection method used
  • • Elevation-by-elevation findings for covering, ridge, verge, valleys, flashings and chimney
  • • Roofline and rainwater goods, plus loft-side observations where access is available
  • • Dated photographs referenced so each defect can be located on the roof
  • • A defect list separated into urgent, recommended and monitor-only
  • • Clear next steps, so the report is useful whether or not we carry out the work

The report is yours to keep and to share with an insurer, surveyor, buyer or managing agent.
