Roof Inspections and Maintenance

A roof inspection is simply a close look at the whole roof, tiles or slates, ridge, valleys, flashing, guttering and any flat sections, to see what condition it is genuinely in. We carry these out for homeowners buying a property, landlords checking on a rental, and anyone who just wants to know where they stand before winter sets in or before spending on other repairs.

For buyers, a roof survey before completing on a house can save a lot of grief later. We check for slipped or missing tiles, cracked ridge tiles, worn flashing around chimneys and abutments, and signs of damp in the roof space itself where access allows. You get a straightforward account of what is sound and what is likely to need attention soon.

Landlords have different priorities, usually wanting to know a roof is safe and weathertight between tenancies, and to have something on file showing the property was checked. We provide photo reports as standard, giving a clear visual record of the roof's condition alongside our written findings, which is useful for landlord records and for planning any repair budget.

Photo reports are something we build into every inspection, not just landlord jobs. Photos of ridge lines, valleys, flashing details and any problem areas mean you can see exactly what we are talking about rather than taking our word for it, and they give you something to keep on file for future reference or insurance purposes.

Planned maintenance visits suit homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems rather than waiting for a leak to appear. This might mean checking mortar bedding on ridge tiles, clearing moss build up, checking flashing around a chimney, and making sure gutters are flowing freely, all things that are far cheaper to keep on top of than to fix after they have caused damage.

Access for inspections is usually from ground level with binoculars for a first look, moving to a ladder or ground level tower for a closer check where needed, and full roof access for a more detailed survey if that has been agreed in advance. We explain what level of access is included before any inspection so there are no surprises.

We carry out inspections and maintenance visits across Coventry, Solihull, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Rugby, Nuneaton and Kenilworth. If an inspection turns up work that needs doing, we will give you a free written quote for it, with no obligation to use us for the repair itself.
