Roof Inspections in Netherfield: Terraces, Chimneys and Roofline
A terrace roof is hard to judge from the street. You can see the front slope, but the back, the party wall junctions and the stack often go unseen for years. An inspection gives a clear account of the roof's condition, which is useful when something has started to go wrong or when you are thinking of buying.
We inspect roofs in Netherfield and nearby suburbs, covering main roofs, extensions, chimneys and the roofline. Newer homes on the edges of the suburb have their own checks, such as flashings around modern extensions, and those are included in the same visit.
What we look at, and what we cannot see
An inspection is visual. We check the accessible parts of the roof from ladders, from the ground and, where suitable, with a drone: coverings, ridges, party wall details, chimney stacks, flashings, gutters and flat sections.
We cannot see through materials, so hidden timber decay or damp inside the structure may need a further look from inside the loft. Photographs are taken where practical, so you can see for yourself what has been described.
- Tiles, slates, ridges and hips
- Party wall and abutment leadwork
- Chimney masonry and flashings
- Rear extension and flat roofs
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits
- Debris clearing and minor maintenance
Planning maintenance from what we find
You should come away knowing which faults are urgent, which can wait and which simply need watching. Landlords with several terraced properties, and small businesses with suitable premises, can ask about assessments to fit their buildings. A condition report from an inspection is a sound basis for deciding what work to price, and it can be passed to a contractor who is asked for a second quote.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing to arrange an inspection and a quote. If you can tell us where you have noticed damp, we will start there.

Roof Inspections and Maintenance in Netherfield: common questions
Can you inspect a roof I share with next door?
We can look at the part you are responsible for and note how it joins the neighbouring roof. Anything that affects both houses should be discussed with your neighbour. If there is a storm, it is sensible to have the roof looked at promptly afterwards, whether or not water has come in.
Is a roof inspection worth doing if nothing is leaking?
It can pick up small defects before they let water in, such as slipped tiles or worn flashings. It cannot promise that a roof will stay trouble.
