Roof Survey & Inspection — Merseyside
Know the Genuine Condition of Your Roof
Whether you're buying a property, dealing with an insurance claim, investigating a specific concern, or simply want peace of mind before winter, a proper roof survey tells you exactly what condition your roof is actually in — not a guess from the pavement.
Every inspection is free and no-obligation. For most roofs, a thorough ground-level and ladder inspection gives us everything we need, backed up by an internal loft inspection where access allows — genuinely hands-on, not a glance from the pavement.
You'll get a full verbal condition report on the day, plus a free written quote with images of any recommended work — if nothing's needed, we'll tell you that too. This is a general condition check, not the in-depth professional survey report used for house purchases, sales or lender requirements, which documents everything — exterior and interior, chimneys, flashings, insulation and more. For that, see our Professional Roof Survey Report below.
📞 Book a free inspectionBuying, selling, or need something for your lender?
This free inspection is a general condition check. If you need a formal, PI-insured written report for a house purchase, sale, or mortgage lender requirement, see our Professional Roof Survey Report instead — £249 inc VAT.
Free, no obligation
Every inspection is free, whether it leads to a quote for work or simply confirms your roof is fine.
Hands-on ladder & roof access
Arranged for steeper roofs or difficult access — not used as an unnecessary upsell where a ladder inspection does the job.
Written reports on request
A free written quote with images of any recommended work, included with every inspection.
Honest findings
We tell you what we genuinely find, not what generates the biggest quote — the same approach behind every service we offer.
When to book a survey
Common Reasons for a Roof Survey
Buying a property
Our Professional Roof Survey Report looks at roofing condition in more practical detail than a standard homebuyer's report, flagging issues worth negotiating on or budgeting for. See our what happens during a roof survey guide.
An insurance claim
Storm damage or a sudden leak often needs documented evidence for a claim. See our roof insurance claims guide for the wider process.
A specific concern
A damp patch, a leak that "looks fine" from outside, or a roof that hasn't been checked in years — we'll investigate and give you a clear answer.
General peace of mind
Particularly useful before winter or after a bad storm, as part of our wider annual roof maintenance approach.
Common questions
Roof Surveys — Frequently Asked Questions
Is a roof inspection free?
Yes — our roof inspection is free and no-obligation, whether you're checking on general condition, considering buying a property, or investigating a specific concern like a leak or missing tiles.
Is this a roof inspection or a roof survey?
A roof inspection is our free, no-obligation condition check, with a verbal report and a written quote for any work needed. A roof survey specifically refers to our in-depth, PI-insured Professional Roof Survey Report, used for house purchases, sales or mortgage lender requirements — see our Professional Roof Survey Report for details.
How do you actually inspect the roof?
By ladder and, where the roof allows it, direct roof access, combined with an internal loft inspection where that's possible. For most Merseyside roofs this gives a genuinely thorough view. We don't currently offer drone inspection.
Can I get a written report from a roof survey?
Yes — a roof survey (our Professional Roof Survey Report, £249) always includes a full, in-depth written report as standard, with photographic evidence covering everything — exterior and interior, chimneys, flashings, insulation and more. It's PI-insured and built for house purchases, sales or lender requirements. If you mean our free inspection instead, that comes with a verbal condition report plus a written quote with images of any recommended work — a general condition check, not a formal survey report.
Should I get a roof survey before buying a 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, and can flag issues worth negotiating on or budgeting for before you complete.
What happens after the survey?
We'll give you an honest verbal or written summary of what we found. If work is needed, we'll quote for it clearly — there's no obligation to book anything, and no pressure either way.
