Our Roof Surveying Process
Our experienced surveyors conduct a detailed visual inspection of your roof, assessing the overall condition, identifying visible issues, and documenting the current state of the roofing materials.
We delve deeper into the structural integrity of your roof, examining the framing, supports, and load-bearing elements. This includes an assessment of potential issues such as sagging, structural damage, or signs of wear and tear.
Our survey includes a comprehensive evaluation of roofing materials, from lead, render, stone and brick to slates and tiles, ensuring that each component is in optimal condition. We assess for wear, damage, or any signs of degradation.
Proper insulation and ventilation are key to a healthy roof. Our survey includes an assessment of insulation levels and ventilation systems to ensure they meet industry standards for energy efficiency and climate control.
Following the survey, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including photographic evidence. Our experienced team will also offer recommendations for any necessary repairs, maintenance, or improvements.
