Our Process

HOW IT WORKS.

From your first call to the signed-off finish, here's exactly what to expect.

01

Book Your Survey

We arrange a convenient time and confirm whether an internal loft inspection is required or access to the roof structure is needed.

02

External Assessment

We inspect the roof covering, ridge, valleys, chimney, flashings, and guttering from safe vantage points or using drone photography.

03

Internal Check

Where accessible, we inspect the loft space for signs of daylight, moisture ingress, condensation, or structural concerns.

04

Detailed Report Produced

You receive a written condition report with photographs, issue descriptions, urgency ratings, and estimated costs for any works identified.

05

Walk-Through & Recommendations

We go through our findings with you, answer your questions, and give honest advice on priority repairs or preventative measures.

Technical Standards

Our inspections cover every critical failure point including BS 5534 compliance check for newer installations and lime mortar assessment for heritage roofs.

  • BS 5534 Compliant
  • Health & Safety Registered
  • Full PPE & Safety Equipment

Honest Advice, Always

Fully Insured

Public liability and employer's liability insurance as standard.

Written Guarantee

All major works backed by a formal written workmanship guarantee.

A full visual inspection of the roof covering, ridge, valleys, chimney, flashings, guttering, and loft space. We use drone photography where safe and appropriate for inaccessible areas.

Usually 1–2 hours for an average property. Larger or more complex roofs, or those requiring drone access and a full written report, may take longer.

Yes, where safe and practical. Drones allow us to inspect steep or inaccessible pitches in detail without scaffolding, and provide photographic evidence for reports and insurance claims.

A written condition report with photographs, a description of any issues found, urgency ratings (urgent, monitor, or cosmetic), and indicative costs for recommended works.

We strongly recommend it. A standard homebuyers survey doesn't always cover the roof in detail. Our pre-purchase roof survey gives you a full picture before you commit.

Basic inspections as part of a quote visit are free. Formal written reports for insurance, pre-purchase, or legal purposes carry a small fee, which we'll confirm upfront.
