Roof Inspections & Surveys for St Anne's 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 St Anne's
Quiet Fylde Coast resort town — Edwardian seafront housing, mature gardens and a high concentration of period detail.
Housing stock: Edwardian and inter-war villas with steeply pitched roofs, generous chimneys and decorative gable detailing. Many original Westmorland and Welsh slate roofs are still in service but tired.
Local exposure: Salt-laden coastal air and exposed gable elevations — galvanised fixings and lead detailing weather faster here than inland.
Planning context: Fairhaven and St Anne's seafront fall within Fylde Council conservation areas — like-for-like materials are expected on most work.
What we do differently in St Anne's
- Decorative ridge, finial and Westmorland slate condition is recorded item-by-item — the same report doubles as a Fylde Council conservation-area record on FY8 villas.
- Lead-detail surveys cover apron, soaker and dormer-cheek condition; corroded lead is the most common St Anne's seafront insurance trigger.
- Drone imagery is included on every St Anne's villa inspection — three-storey Edwardian elevations are not safe to survey on ladders alone.
What's included
- External roof survey from ladder, drone or scaffold as appropriate
- Chimney, ridge, valley, lead and flashing inspection
- Gutter, fascia and soffit condition check
- Loft-side inspection where access allows
- Written report with high-resolution photographs
- Prioritised schedule of remedial works with indicative costs
