Roof Survey & Inspection

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.

Our trade-accredited roofers are all qualified to carry out surveys of all types of roofs. Whether it’s a residential or commercial property we can help.

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.

Customer reviews

  • The roofer Aspect sent has been thorough and informed me as he goes along each step to explain where the issues are. I have never had a roofer be so thorough and conscientious.

    Lara, Highgate, N6

  • The gutter work was carried out efficiently and site left clean. Pleasant tradesman who appeared to take pride in his work to ensure everything was in order before he left.

    Les, Wandsworth, SW18

  • Found a leak in the roof, made a temporary watertight fix until they could get replacement tiles. Came back 2 days later, finished the repair and also then sorted out guttering. Faultless service, will use again.

Pre-purchase roofing survey

Roof repairs in London

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.

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.
