What is a roof inspection report?

A roof inspection report is a detailed assessment carried out by a qualified roofer to identify the condition of your roof and any issues that need fixing. It usually includes:

Photographs of defects
Notes on tile and flashing condition
Assessment of gutters, chimneys and roofline
Recommendations for repairs or maintenance

This report helps you get a clearer picture on the current condition of your roof and plan the next steps.

Is it worth getting a roof inspection?

Prevent small issues from turning into costly repairs
Highlight safety risks (loose tiles, structural weakening)
Provide clarity before making home-buying decisions
Help you prioritise maintenance

So, a small upfront cost can save you hundreds or thousands later.

What does a roof inspection involve?

A standard roof inspection will cover:

Condition of tiles, slates or sheets
Flashing, leadwork and seal integrity

Gutter condition and water flow
Signs of leaks, damp or structural movement
