Roof Inspections in Gedling for Semis, Garages and Extensions
Not every roof problem shows up inside the house, and by the time it does, damp may already have reached the timbers. A roof inspection looks at the whole roof, including the less glamorous parts such as the garage and the back extension, so that you know where things stand.
We inspect roofs in Gedling and nearby suburbs. The work is useful before buying or selling, after a storm, or when you are trying to decide whether a repair will do or a replacement is coming. It is also a useful record. A dated set of notes on the state of the roof is handy when you need to compare how it changes from one visit to the next.
Checks and limits
An inspection is visual. We look at what can be seen from the ground, from ladders and, where suitable, by drone: tiles and slates, ridges, flashings, chimneys, gutters, fascias and flat roofs. Our notes cover what needs attention soon and what can be monitored.
What a visual survey cannot do is look inside the structure. Rot in hidden timbers or moisture under a flat roof membrane may need more investigation before they can be confirmed. If we see something that cannot be judged from outside, such as a damp roof space, we will explain what further looking is needed.
- Main roof coverings, ridges and hips
- Flat garage and extension roofs
- Chimney masonry and flashings
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits
- Storm damage checks
- Minor maintenance such as clearing debris
Landlords, homeowners and businesses
Homeowners, landlords and suitable small businesses can all ask for an inspection that suits their building. Older garage roofs of cement sheet may contain asbestos, which would need to be identified before any work.
To arrange one, call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing and tell us about the building, and we will give you a quote.

Roof Inspections and Maintenance in Gedling: common questions
Is an inspection the same as a structural survey?
No. A roof inspection reports on the visible condition of the roof and roofline, and it does not replace a structural survey of the building. If we spot something that needs a specialist, we will say so. Having it done before a sale can also stop surprises later in the process.
Should I get a roof inspected after a storm?
It is sensible, especially if you have seen debris in the garden or a change inside. Displaced tiles, ridges and flashings are among the first things to check.
