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.

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.
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.
Do roofing surveys include cost estimates for repairs?
