Don’t get hit with unexpected repair costs
The cost of replacing a roof is something that most property owners want to budget for well in advance.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, or you’re preparing to buy a property which hasn’t had a roof inspection done, it makes financial sense to have an expert carry out a detailed assessment of it.
The findings and recommendations of a roof survey will allow for smaller issues to be fixed and prevent them from becoming much larger problems further in the future.
This pro-active approach could help you avoid storm damage and associated emergency repair work. It might also help you to negotiate on the purchase price of the property that’s in need of roof repairs.
What to expect from a roof inspection survey
The visual inspection of a roof by one of our trade-accredited roofers will take approximately two hours to complete.
During the inspection the roofer provides a detailed assessment on each section of the roof. Each survey includes information and professional opinion on the following parts of the roof structure: –
Roof coverings; including the type, condition and defects
Flashing; general condition and the ability to prevent leaks
Chimneys; condition of brickwork, pointing, pots and flaunching
Drainage and guttering; drainage defects and potential damp problems
Parapet walls; condition of pointing, brickwork, render and capping
Skylights, including Velux windows; condition and likelihood of leaks
Fascias, soffits and barge boards; general condition and possible issues
Internal structure; condition of timbers and visible signs of stress
Following the inspection we’ll provide you with a detailed report supported with photos. Finally, a quote for any recommended work will be provided.
The roofing inspector will be fully trade accredited, and being a member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors.
A pre-purchase roof inspection survey costs is £250.00. We can answer any questions you have and schedule a visit by one of our roofing experts, so please book here to secure your slot time.
