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