Roof Inspections done properly
Most people only think about the roof when it leaks. A regular inspection catches the slipped slate, the cracked mortar or the blocked valley while it is still a small job. It is also worth having one before you buy a house, after a major storm, or before you sell.
We check the roof from the outside and from the attic, and send you a photo report that sorts what we found into what needs doing now, what to plan for, and what is fine.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a roof be inspected?
Every three to five years for a roof in good condition, and after any major storm. Older roofs benefit from a check every couple of years.
Can you inspect a house I'm thinking of buying?
Yes. A roof check before you buy can save you a costly surprise, and the photo report can help when you negotiate.
How much does an inspection cost?
We quote the inspection price up front when you book, so there are no surprises. If you go ahead with any work we find, ask us about how the inspection is factored in.
