Common Problems Identified During Roof Surveys
During roof surveys, we regularly identify defects that may not be obvious from ground level or internal leaks alone. Early identification helps prevent further damage, unexpected costs and unnecessary repeat repairs.
-
blocked or inadequate drainage systems
-
failed flashings and perimeter details
-
splits, cracks or deterioration in flat roof coverings
-
slipped tiles and defects on pitched roofs
-
trapped moisture beneath roofing systems
-
failed previous repair works or overlays
-
parapet wall defects allowing water ingress
-
leaks travelling from unrelated roof areas requiring further roof leak investigations
-
unsafe access arrangements affecting future maintenance
-
signs of structural movement or roof deck deterioration
Some issues require further investigation beyond a visual survey alone, particularly on older or heavily repaired roofs. Read more about when a roof survey isn’t enough.
