What this service covers
Damage can be obvious or hidden around flashings, fixings, valleys and penetrations. Make the building safe first, then document and assess the roof before permanent work.
Common reasons to arrange an inspection
Leaks, ceiling stains, cracked tiles, rust, loose sheets, damaged flashing, failed sealants, deteriorated ridge work and gutter overflow are common triggers for assessment.
What affects the repair approach
Roof material, pitch, age, access, previous repairs, nearby penetrations and the condition of surrounding components influence the recommended scope.
Preparing for a roofing quote
Note when the problem occurs, photograph safe-to-access internal damage, identify the roof material if known and mention solar panels, skylights, chimneys or recent work.
What a clear scope should explain
Look for the identified defect, affected area, proposed repair, materials, access, exclusions, waste removal and what happens if additional damage is discovered.
