What roof inspection in Preston actually involves

Our typical Preston scope

A proper roof inspection is more than a glance from the pavement. We carry out a structured survey — drone imagery for steep or fragile coverings, ladder access where safe, full scaffold for tall stacks — and we report against a written checklist covering covering, fixings, lead detailing, chimney, ridge, valley, flashings, gutters and visible loft conditions. The output is a plain-English report with photographs that a homeowner, buyer's solicitor, landlord or insurer can act on, and a costed schedule for any remedial work.

What's included

  • Gutter, fascia and soffit condition check
  • External roof survey from ladder, drone or scaffold as appropriate
  • Chimney, ridge, valley, lead and flashing inspection
  • Prioritised schedule of remedial works with indicative costs
  • Written report with high-resolution photographs
