Roof inspections in Boston
An honest look at what the roof is doing, photographed on the roof and written down plainly.
Most people find out about their roof at the worst possible moment. An inspection moves that forward: you see what is up there before it becomes an emergency, and you get it in writing. We inspect roofs across Boston, PE21 and PE22.
What gets looked at
The covering, for slipped and cracked tiles and old repairs that were never right. The ridge and verges, and whether the mortar has reached the end. Every lead detail: chimney soakers, step flashing, apron, back gutter, valleys and abutments. The eaves, where felt perishes out of sight. Gutters, downpipes and outlets. And any flat roof on an extension or outbuilding, which is often where the real trouble is.
What exposure does over time
Roofs here age differently from sheltered ones. Constant wind works at verges and ridge, driving rain finds any lead that has lifted, and salt-laden air off the wash is harder on fixings than inland air is. An inspection here is worth doing on a roof that looks fine from the street, because the parts that go first are the parts you cannot see from it.
What you get
Photographs taken on the roof, not from the pavement, and a plain written summary separating what is sound, what wants watching and what genuinely needs doing. If the roof is fine and has years left, that is what the report says. An inspection that always finds work is not an inspection.
Surveys, buying and selling
Homebuyer surveys are cautious by design and often say a roofing contractor should take a further look, which on its own helps nobody. This is that look: specific, photographed and costed, so you can take it into a negotiation. If you are the one selling, it is worth knowing in advance what a buyer's surveyor is going to find, because a problem you have already priced is a far weaker bargaining chip against you than one discovered at the last minute.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.
Brilliant work! Reasonable price a friendly. Recommend to anyone. Sorted out my roof after 3 companies turned me down.
Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.

Roof Inspections in Boston: common questions
My survey says a roofer should look. Is this that?
Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people ring. We look at the specific thing flagged, photograph it, and tell you what it means in money and in urgency.
Will you find work whether or not it needs doing?
No. Plenty of inspections end with the roof being sound, and we would far rather tell you that and be the people you ring in five or ten years.
Do I get a written report?
You get photographs taken on the roof and a plain written summary of what is sound, what wants watching and what needs doing. No jargon and no padding.
Is it worth inspecting a roof that looks fine?
On exposed ground, often yes. Verges, ridge fixings, lead and eaves felt all fail well before anything is visible from the street.
