FAQs

What is a roofing survey?

A roofing survey is a professional inspection of your roof carried out by a qualified specialist. It highlights issues such as leaks, damage, or general wear, as well as potential future problems. The survey provides a clear report with recommendations, so you can make informed decisions about repairs or replacement.

When should I arrange a roof survey?

You should arrange a roof survey if you notice leaks, missing tiles, or pooling water. It’s also recommended before buying or selling a property, and during planned refurbishments, so any issues can be identified early.

What types of roof surveys do you offer?

Our roof surveys include visual inspections, drone surveys, and leak detection with non-invasive methods. They’re suitable for flat, pitched, lead, and balcony roofs.

How long does a roof survey take?

A roof survey usually takes a few hours. However, larger or more complex roofs may take longer. After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear report with results and advice.
