Inspection
Roof Inspection
Where does this roof stand?
Nothing is being fixed yet. This page is what gets looked at, and what you're left holding afterwards.
Not what you are looking at? Metal Roofing, Roof Repair.
What is covered
What Roof Inspection actually looks at.
A condition report with photographs, so where the roof actually stands is established before anything is decided.
What gets looked at
In the order it gets looked at.
An inspection that starts on the roof surface has already skipped the two places that explain most of what's wrong: the roof space underneath it and the junctions at its edges.
- 01The roof space first where it can be reached safely — daylight, damp, staining on the deck
- 02The covering across every elevation, not the worst slope
- 03Every penetration in turn: vents, flues, pipe boots, skylights
- 04Valleys, and every junction where the roof meets a wall or a chimney
- 05Eaves, rakes, drip edge and the gutter line
- 06Intake and exhaust ventilation together, since one without the other does nothing
What you are left with
A condition report you can act on without us.
Photographs of each finding with the elevation it belongs to, what it means, and what we'd do about it — including the items where the answer is nothing yet. It's written so another roofer could pick it up and price the same scope, which is the only version of it that's worth anything to you.
What you can do with it
An inspection is a decision, not a sale.
The report should be useful whether or not you have any work done. That is what makes it worth having.
- What needs doing now, if anything
- What can reasonably wait, and roughly how long
- What to watch for that would change the answer
About this job
What people said after roof inspection.
Told me my roof was fine when somebody else had told me it needed replacing. Sent photographs of every slope with the report. That is the whole reason I would call them when it does need doing.
Demonstration account. The reviews above are worked examples, not this company’s own customers. They are here to show what this section contains once a real company fills it.
The next step
This one is the whole service.
Nothing gets sold at the end of it. You get the photographs and the report, and if the answer is that the roof is fine for now, that's the answer.
