Free Roof Inspections in Yorkshire & Rotherham

When you need an inspection

• Buying a property. Know what's actually up there before you exchange.
• After a storm. Lifted ridges, slipped slates, torn flashing. Often invisible from the ground.
• Insurance claims. Documented evidence (photos plus written scope) supports your adjuster's decision.
• Yearly check-up. Catches small problems before they become a stripped ceiling.
• Selling a property. Written report reassures the buyer's surveyor.
• Roof age. Welsh slate at 80+ years, concrete tile at 40+, both worth a look.

What we check

• Slate, tile, or membrane condition top to bottom
• Lead flashings at chimneys, abutments, and dormers
• Valley condition and soaker laps
• Ridge and hip tiles (dry-fix or mortar-bedded)
• Gutters, downpipes, fascia, soffit, bargeboard

Common questions

How much does an inspection cost?

Nothing. Free site visit, free written report. No obligation to take any work that comes out of it.

How long does the inspection take?

Most properties take 30 to 60 minutes on site. Larger detached or stone-built heritage properties run longer. Written report follows within a day or two.

Can you do an inspection for my insurer, mortgage, or property sale?

Yes. The written report is detailed enough for an insurer's adjuster, a mortgage lender, or a property surveyor. We can address specific concerns if your insurer or buyer has flagged anything.

How often should I get the roof inspected?

Every 3 to 5 years is sensible for most properties. Annually if the roof is over 60 years old or if you have had recent storm damage in the area.

What happens after the inspection?

You get the report. We do not chase you with sales calls. If you want a quote on the work, we send one. If you want to wait, no pressure.
