Roof survey in SO43: how it works

There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run seven days a week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flashings that have come away from the wall and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.

We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
3. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
5. You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
