You may be buying a property and want to know the true condition of the roof before you commit to the purchase, or you may have lived in your home for years and want to know whether those cracked tiles are a problem or just cosmetic. A proper roof inspection gives you the facts so you can make the right decision — whether that is a small repair now, planning for a renewal in a few years, or no action needed at all. You get a clear written report with photos and honest recommendations, and there is no pressure to proceed with any work we recommend.

When You Need a Roof Inspection

You need a roof inspection before buying a property, after a major storm, or if your roof is more than 20 years old and you want to know how much life is left in it. Signs that an inspection is overdue include cracked or missing tiles visible from the ground, granules from concrete tiles washing into the gutters, daylight showing through the membrane in the loft, or damp patches on upstairs ceilings. A pre-purchase inspection is especially valuable — a roof that looks fine from the street can have perished membrane, rotten rafter feet or failed flashing that a surveyor would not flag but a roofer would spot immediately. An inspection now is far cheaper than discovering a major problem during the first heavy rain of winter, when the damage is already done and the repair bill is at its highest. We inspect the whole roof system — tiles, ridge, flashing, chimneys, valleys, membrane and timbers — not just the parts you can see from the ground.

Our Roof Inspection Process

We survey the roof from outside and inside — checking tiles, ridge, flashing, chimneys, valleys, membrane and timbers. From outside, we look for cracked, slipped or missing tiles, loose ridge and hip mortar, lifted or cracked flashing, and damaged valleys. From inside the loft, we check the membrane for tears or daylight, inspect the timbers for rot or water staining, and look for signs of condensation or poor ventilation. We take photos of any problem areas so you can see exactly what we are describing, and we note the condition of each component in a clear written report. You get honest recommendations — whether that is a small repair, a planned renewal, or no action needed at all. There is no pressure to proceed with any work we recommend. Most inspections are completed within an hour.

Roof Inspection Cost in Iver

The cost of a roof inspection depends on the size and type of the property and whether you need a full written report with photos. A basic visual inspection is more affordable, while a full pre-purchase survey with a detailed report costs more but could save you thousands if it reveals a problem before you buy. We give you a clear price before we come out — no hidden charges, no surprise add-ons. Every quote is free and carries no obligation, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you decide.
