Roof inspections in Market Deeping

Most people in Market Deeping have never seen their own roof up close. Whether it is a steep pantile slope on a stone house or a shallow concrete tile roof on a newer semi, you cannot judge much from the pavement. An inspection puts photographs in your hand so you can see what is actually up there.

Good times to have one

• Before you buy, particularly an older stone property, where a general survey may say little about the roof
• After a storm, when you want to know whether anything moved overnight
• Before agreeing to work someone else has quoted, so you know the problem is real
• If you let a property and want a record of its condition

That last one is where the phrase roof MOT comes from. A customer called our check on their rental property a roof MOT, and it describes the idea well: a plain verdict on what passes, what needs attention soon and what can wait.

What we look at in the Deepings

We check the covering, the ridge and verges, the lead at chimneys and abutments, the valleys and the gutters, and photograph each of them. Around Market Deeping we pay particular attention to valleys and gutters under trees, because leaf litter is a common cause of water getting in where the roof itself is sound. On stone buildings we also look closely at the junction between the masonry and the roof, where old pointing and lead tend to give up first.

What you are left with

The photographs, an honest explanation, and a written price for anything that genuinely needs doing. If nothing does, we tell you so, and you keep the pictures as a record of your roof. There is no pressure and no upselling. Ring 01778 775043 to book.
