Roof inspections in Newark
An honest look at what your roof is doing, photographed on the roof and written down plainly.
Newark is a commuter town with fast trains south, which means a great many of its roofs belong to people who leave in the dark and come back in the dark. Nobody is looking up. An inspection is how you find out what your roof is doing without waiting for it to tell you through a ceiling.
Flats, conversions and who owns the roof
A lot of the older property near the market place has been divided into flats and offices, and that raises a question a house owner never has to think about: whose roof is it. If you are a leaseholder, the roof is usually the freeholder's responsibility and the cost typically reaches you through a service charge. An independent report with photographs is worth a great deal in that conversation, because it turns a disagreement about whether work is needed into a discussion about a document. We are happy to inspect for a leaseholder, a freeholder or a management company and to say plainly what we found.
What gets checked
Covering, ridge and verges, every lead detail from soakers to back gutter, valleys and abutments, the eaves felt, gutters and outlets, and any flat roof, dormer or parapet gutter. On a converted townhouse the parapet gutter is very often the answer.
Landlords and letting
If you let a property here, the useful time for this is between tenancies rather than after a call about a damp bedroom. A dated report with photographs is also worth having on file if a dispute ever arises about what was wrong and when.
What you get
Photographs taken on the roof, and a plain written summary separating what is sound, what wants watching and what needs doing. If the roof is fine, that is what it says. Ring 01406 704369. No obligation and no upselling.

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.

Amazing roof repair everything finished to a high standard,good communication and reasonable priced would definetly recommend.
Before you ring
Roof Inspections in Newark: common questions
My survey says to get a roofer to look. Is this it?
Yes, and it is among 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 that needs doing?
Only if there is some. Plenty of inspections end with the roof being sound, and we would rather tell you that and be the people you ring in five or ten years.
Can you inspect a roof hidden behind a parapet?
Yes, and those are the ones most worth doing. A valley gutter behind a parapet fails out of sight, and the first sign is usually damp showing indoors.
What do I actually get?
Photographs taken on the roof and a plain written summary of what is sound, what wants watching and what needs doing. No jargon, no padding, and no obligation to use us.
