Detailed roof survey with a written report suitable for buyers, sellers and landlords.
Symptoms & warning signs
- A property purchase where the homebuyer report has flagged the roof for specialist inspection
- A landlord or portfolio owner needing documented condition across several properties
- A dispute or insurance question requiring an independent written assessment
- A roof of unknown age where remaining service life needs establishing
- Budgeting for planned capital works rather than reactive repair
Inspection & diagnosis
Every quote begins with an inspection. Where a roof is inaccessible, complex or storm-damaged, we can carry out a drone inspection to capture imagery and annotated findings before recommending works.
Typical scope of work
- Detailed inspection of the covering, structure, details, drainage and ventilation
- Identification of the covering type, approximate age and estimated remaining service life
- Defect schedule with location references and photographic evidence
- Assessment of previous repairs and their adequacy
- Prioritised recommendations separated into urgent, short-term and planned works
- Drone imagery incorporated where it improves coverage or safety
- A written report suitable for sharing with solicitors, insurers, surveyors or agents
Timescale
Site time is typically half a day for a standard property; the written report follows separately. Larger buildings, portfolios and commercial sites are scoped individually and we agree a reporting date with you before starting.
Guarantee & aftercare
Your report is yours to keep and to share with insurers, surveyors, buyers or managing agents. We will talk you through the findings, and we do not charge again to re-explain them. Where we later carry out the recommended works, our written workmanship guarantee applies to that work.
Project evidence
Findings are evidenced with dated photography, referenced to a roof plan or elevation so each defect can be located. Where drone imagery is used you receive the stills, and video where it helps explain the problem.
