“They came out the same day, found the problem straight away and had it fixed before the rain came back. Honest price and very tidy. Highly recommended.”

Free Roof Inspection in Birkdale
Whether you're buying one of Birkdale's grand Victorian or Edwardian villas or a more modest property nearby, a genuinely thorough roof inspection on housing this substantial is always worthwhile. A genuinely thorough roof survey here — by ladder and, where the roof allows it, direct roof access, combined with an internal loft inspection where that's possible. We don't currently offer drone inspection; hands-on access gives a more thorough view than a flyover can.
It's completely free, with no obligation to proceed. You'll get a full verbal condition report on the day, plus a free written quotation with images if any work is recommended. If you need something formal for a house purchase, sale or mortgage lender, that's a different service — see our separate Professional Roof Survey Report (£249 inc VAT, PI-insured) below.

Worth knowing
A Roof Survey vs a Homebuyer's Survey
A RICS HomeBuyer or Building Survey assesses the whole property, with the roof as just one part of that wider visual inspection — and it's typically limited to what's safely visible, without moving insulation or getting onto the roof itself. A dedicated roof inspection from us looks at nothing but the roof, in hands-on, roof-specific detail. If you're buying an older Birkdale property, or one with visible signs of wear, both are genuinely useful and neither replaces the other. See our professional roof survey report if you need a formal written document for a purchase, sale or lender.
Common questions
Free Roof Inspection — What People Ask
Is a roof inspection in Birkdale really free?
Yes, genuinely free with no obligation to proceed. We give you an honest assessment either way, whether or not work is needed.
Is this a roof inspection or a roof survey?
A roof inspection is our free, no-obligation condition check. A roof survey specifically refers to our in-depth, PI-insured Professional Roof Survey Report, used for house purchases, sales or mortgage lender requirements.
How do you actually inspect the roof in Birkdale?
By ladder and, where the roof allows it, direct roof access, combined with an internal loft inspection where that's possible. We don't currently offer drone inspection.
Do I get anything in writing after the free roof inspection?
Yes — a full verbal condition report on the day, plus a free written quotation with images if any work is recommended. That's different from our separate Professional Roof Survey Report (£249 inc VAT), which is a formal, PI-insured written document built specifically for house purchases, sales or lender requirements.
Should I get a roof survey before buying a Birkdale house?
It's a sensible step, particularly on an older property or anywhere with visible signs of wear. Our Professional Roof Survey Report looks specifically at roofing condition in more practical detail than a standard homebuyer's report typically covers.
