Roof Inspections in Cotgrave Before Problems Appear

Evans Roofing Services, based in Beckingham, inspects pitched and flat roofs in Cotgrave and nearby villages for homeowners, landlords and suitable businesses, and explains what it finds in plain terms. The aim is a clear picture of what is sound and what is not, so you can decide what to do next.

What an inspection looks at

We review the accessible and visible parts of the roof: tiles, ridges and hips, flashings, flat sections, chimneys, gutters, fascias and soffits. Where a leak is suspected, we try to trace the likely source. We can also give a view on whether minor defects are worth fixing now or can sensibly wait.

Older garage roofs made from cement sheeting may contain asbestos, which should be identified before any work is carried out on them. Where we find a defect, we describe it and show you the photo if we can, so you are not asked to take it on trust.

• General condition checks of coverings and ridges
• Leak investigations
• Storm damage checks
• Flat roof membranes, joints and outlets
• Chimney, gutter and roofline checks
• Minor maintenance such as clearing debris

The limits of a visual check

An inspection from ladders, the loft and the ground shows a lot, but it cannot see inside walls, under coverings or through insulation. Where suitable, a drone survey could be considered for roofs that are awkward to reach. Roofs on bungalows are often easier to survey, though the loft still tells part of the story.

Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos or a description of what worries you, and we will talk through what an inspection would cover before quoting. We will also say whether a second look from the loft is needed.
