Roof Inspections & Surveys for Clitheroe properties
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.
About Clitheroe
Ribble Valley market town — limestone-built character, a working castle and a high proportion of premium period housing.
Housing stock: Strong mix of Victorian stone villas, Georgian townhouses near the castle and rural stone farmhouses through Pendleton, Waddington and Chatburn. Natural slate and traditional clay tile are standard.
Local exposure: Open Ribble Valley exposure — long fetch for westerly winds and notable winter frost on north-facing roofs of higher villages like Waddington.
Planning context: Ribble Valley operates strict conservation control across Clitheroe town centre, Whalley and most surrounding villages — heritage roofing standards apply on most work.
What we do differently in Clitheroe
- Stone-flag and Westmorland slate condition is documented item-by-item — the report doubles as a Ribble Valley conservation-area record.
- Rural farmhouse inspections in Pendleton and Waddington include structural-load notes on the original timber where stone-flag re-covering may be needed.
- Scaffold quote provided alongside the report where remedial work is recommended — heritage access on a Georgian townhouse is rarely cheap and shouldn't be a surprise.

- Chimney, ridge, valley, lead and flashing inspection
- Gutter, fascia and soffit condition check
- Loft-side inspection where access allows
