“Patrick had come to fix some flashing for us and when we had a ceiling leak he responded so quickly when we were anxious. Very promptly he was able to do a full roof repair and let us know about guttering problems that would be worth fixing whilst the scaffolding was up. All in all, he made a very stressful situation a lot easier. Answering any questions and having work done to a high quality. It’s been a year now since the roof was installed and we do not hesitate to contact Patrick for any future issues/help.”

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?

Yes – especially if you’ve noticed leaks, damp patches, roof movement, or you’re buying or selling a property. A roof inspection can:

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

Yes, drones are now widely used to safely capture high-resolution images of hard-to-reach areas and can supplement or replace traditional access.

Most experts recommend an inspection every one to two years, or sooner if you notice leaks, storm damage or loose tiles.
