Roof Inspections in Nottingham for Homes and Landlords

A visual inspection has limits worth stating plainly. We can look at what is visible or reachable from the ground, a ladder or the loft. We cannot see beneath coverings or inside walls, so the findings show likely causes and the condition of what can be seen, rather than every hidden fault.

What an inspection looks at

The focus depends on why you want the check. A landlord may want a sense of condition between tenancies, while a homeowner may be chasing a stain. We note defects with photographs where possible, so you can see what we found and decide what to do next.

• Tiles, slates, ridges and hips
• Chimney masonry, pointing and flashings
• Lead along party walls and valleys
• Flat roof membranes, joints, outlets and edges
• Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits

Access, drones and keeping up with maintenance

Tall terraces and awkward extensions can be difficult to see in full. A drone survey may be possible where suitable, which gives a closer view of areas that are hard to reach. Storm damage inspections look for displaced tiles, damaged ridges and flashings after severe weather.

Once a roof has been inspected, small jobs such as clearing debris or fixing minor defects can be done before they worsen. Call or WhatsApp with photos and a note of what concerns you, and we can agree the level of check that suits the property.
