Roof inspections in Peterborough
An honest look at what your roof is actually doing, photographed, explained and written down.
Most people find out about their roof at the worst possible moment. An inspection turns that around: you get to see what is up there before it becomes an emergency, and you get it in writing. We inspect roofs across Peterborough, PE1 to PE7.
What we look at
The covering, tile by tile where it matters, for slips, cracks and previous repairs that were never right. The ridge and verges, and whether the mortar is at the end of its life. Every lead detail: chimney soakers, step flashing, apron, back gutter, valleys and abutments. The eaves, where the felt so often perishes out of sight. The gutters, downpipes and outlets. And the flat roofs, which on a Peterborough house usually means an extension or a dormer.
What you get
Photographs of everything that matters, taken on the roof rather than from the pavement, and a plain written summary of what is sound, what wants watching and what genuinely needs doing. If the answer is that the roof is fine and has years left, that is the answer you get. An inspection that always finds work is not an inspection.
Buying, selling or dealing with a survey
Homebuyer surveys are cautious by design and frequently say "further investigation by a roofing contractor is recommended", which helps nobody. That is exactly the gap this fills: a specific look at the specific thing the surveyor flagged, with photographs and a costed opinion you can take back to a negotiation. If you are selling, knowing what a buyer's surveyor will find is worth having in advance.

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.
Before you ring
Roof Inspections in Peterborough: common questions
My homebuyer survey says to get a roofer to look. Is this that?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people ring. We look at the specific thing flagged, photograph it and tell you what it means in money and in urgency, which is what you need for a negotiation.
Will you find work that needs doing?
Only if there is some. Plenty of inspections end with the roof being fine, and we would rather tell you that and be the people you call in five or ten years.
Do I get anything in writing?
Yes. Photographs taken on the roof and a plain written summary separating what is sound, what wants watching and what needs doing.
Do you inspect flat roofs and dormers too?
Yes, and on Peterborough houses they are often where the trouble is. Extensions and dormers get looked at as carefully as the main roof.
