Roofing

Roof Inspections

A full roof check before you buy or after a storm.

Don't get your roof done till we've seen it. That is how we think every roofing job should start, including our own. A roof inspection is a full check of the whole roof, with photographs of everything we find, so that any decision you make about the roof afterwards, buying the house, claiming for a storm, booking a repair, is made with your eyes open. One customer called it a roof MOT, and that is exactly the spirit of it.

When an inspection earns its keep

Before you buy a house

A survey often stops at "roof appears in fair condition, further investigation recommended". We are the further investigation: up close, photographed, in plain English.

After a storm

Wind damage is not always visible from the pavement. A post-storm check tells you whether tiles have shifted or lead has lifted, before the next rain proves it the hard way.

Before committing to work

If another quote has left you unsure, an inspection gives you an independent picture of what the roof genuinely needs. One landlord had us clear the gutters of a rental property and give its roof the full MOT while we were there, and now has a photographic record of its condition.

How an inspection works

  1. Contact us on 01406 704369 or through the form; we phone back to arrange it.
  2. We go over the roof properly, coverings, ridge, verges, flashings, chimney and roofline, photographing as we go.
  3. You see every photograph and get the findings explained in plain terms, not trade jargon.
  4. If work is needed, you get a written quote with a price that holds. If it is not, we say so and leave you alone.

There is no pressure at any stage and no invented faults, which is rather the point of asking us to look before anyone starts pulling tiles off.

Common questions

Problems we are asked about

Should I repair my roof or replace it?

Repair it if the leak is in one place, the tiles are sound and the underlay is intact; replace it if tiles are failing across the roof, the underlay has perished or you are paying for a repair every winter. Marley puts a correctly laid tile roof's expected life at around 60 years, so age alone is not the trigger. We inspect from on top and inside the loft before we say which.

Before you ring

Questions we get asked about roof inspections

What is a roof MOT?

It is what one of our customers christened the inspection, and the name stuck: a full check of the roof, top to bottom, with photographs, telling you what is sound, what is wearing and what needs doing.

How much does a roof inspection cost?

Ring 01406 704369 and we will confirm the cost for your property in writing before anything is booked, and as with everything we do, the price you are given is the price you pay.

Should I get the roof inspected before buying a house?

We think so. It is the most expensive surface on the building and the one a general survey inspects least closely. An hour of checking beats years of surprises.

What do I actually receive from the inspection?

Photographs of the roof and every issue found, explained to you in plain terms, plus a written quote if anything needs attention. If nothing does, you simply get the good news.

Will you pressure me into repairs afterwards?

No. The inspection exists so you can decide from evidence. Plenty of roofs we check need little or nothing, and we tell their owners exactly that.
