Roof Inspections for Ollerton Houses, Bungalows and Landlords
Larger and older properties have more roof to look after, and in a village like Ollerton, with cottages, bungalows and detached houses side by side, a proper inspection before choosing between repair and replacement is useful. It stops you paying for work the roof does not need. It also gives you a record of what condition the roof was in on the day.
We inspect roofs in Ollerton, Warsop, Southwell and nearby for owners, landlords and suitable small businesses. Requests often come after a storm, before a house is sold, or when a tenant reports a stain. Inspections include the main roof, any flat-roofed extension, the chimneys and the roofline. We look from the ground, from inside the loft where possible and, where it is safe, on the roof.
What is checked
We review the visible and accessible parts of the roof for deterioration: tiles and slates, ridges, flashings, valleys, flat roof membranes and drainage, chimney masonry, and the gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits. After severe weather, we also look for displaced tiles and damaged ridges.
A visual inspection can only report what can be seen. Hidden defects under coverings or inside walls may not show until work starts. We would rather explain this limit than pretend otherwise. Where suitable, a drone survey may be possible for roofs that are difficult to see.

Acting on what we find
Small jobs, such as clearing debris or refixing a loose tile, can often be dealt with before they become bigger ones. Catching a lifted ridge tile or a blocked outlet early is rarely a large job. Landlords with several properties can use inspection findings to plan work in order. Letting agents and tenants often want to know a roof has been checked.
Older garage roofs of cement sheet may contain asbestos and should be identified before work. Call or WhatsApp to book. Tell us about any leaks or marks you have noticed, and where.

Roof Inspections and Maintenance in Ollerton: common questions
Do you inspect flat roofs on extensions?
Yes. We check membranes, joints, outlets, perimeter details and drainage, as flat roofs often fail at the details. Ponding water, lifted seams and blocked outlets are typical findings.
Will an inspection tell me everything about the roof?
It tells you what is visible and accessible. Some problems are hidden beneath coverings, so we say what the inspection could not see as well as what it could. That honesty means you know where the limits are before deciding on repairs.
