Roof Inspections & Surveys

Professional Roof Inspections in Telford, Shrewsbury and Shropshire

A roof inspection is the simplest way to catch small problems before they turn into leaks, damp or expensive repairs. Whether you’re preparing for winter, buying a property or worried about a damp patch on the ceiling, our experienced roofers will check your roof thoroughly and tell you exactly what we find – in plain English, with photos. Most roof problems start small. A single slipped tile, a crack in the ridge mortar or a lifted piece of lead flashing costs little to fix. Left for a winter, the same fault can let water soak into the timbers, insulation and ceilings below. Close-up of a slate roof slope during an inspection

When to Book a Roof Inspection

  • Before winter – autumn is the best time to check for weak spots before the storms arrive. Our autumn roof checklist explains what you can look for from the ground.
  • After a storm – even if you can’t see damage from the ground, high winds can loosen tiles and flashing. See storm damage roof repairs.
  • When buying a home – know the condition of the roof before you commit, so you can budget for any work or negotiate on price.
  • If you notice a leak or damp – stains on ceilings, damp in the loft or daylight through the roof. See how to tell if you have a roof leak.
  • If your roof is getting older – see how long roof tiles last.
  • Before selling – fixing small roof issues in advance can avoid problems when a buyer’s survey comes back.
  • For landlords and businesses – regular inspections help you keep on top of maintenance and plan budgets.

What We Check

The Roof Covering

We look at tiles and slates for slipping, cracking, delamination and porosity, and check nail fixings where we can see them.

Ridges, Hips and Verges

We check the condition of ridge, hip and verge tiles and their mortar or dry-fix systems.

Leadwork and Flashing

We inspect lead around chimneys, walls, valleys and roof windows for lifting, splitting and failed pointing. See leadwork and flashing.

Chimneys

We check stacks, pots, flaunching and brickwork. See chimney repairs.

Flat Roofs

We check flat roof coverings for splits, blisters, ponding water and failing edge details. See flat roofing services.

Roofline and Drainage

We look at gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits for blockages, leaks and rot.

The Loft Space

Where it’s accessible, we check the underside of the roof: felt or membrane, timbers, insulation, ventilation and any signs of damp or condensation. Tiled hip roof on a detached house

Clear Advice, No Pressure

After the inspection we’ll explain what we found, with photos where helpful. If something needs fixing, we’ll tell you how urgent it is and give you a clear written quote. If your roof is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too – we’d rather earn your trust than sell you work you don’t need. Not sure whether to repair or replace? Read roof repair vs replacement, the signs that you need a new roof, and our guide to what a new roof costs.
