“Job was arranged quickly at a date convenient for me. Good communication throughout. New gutter and fascia board installed and union joint moved across as per my instruction. Reasonable price, friendly workmen. Fabio is very amenable, and honest with pricing. What I particularly liked was his advice to install eaves protectors as I had none and the felt was rotting at the ends. I had never heard of eaves protectors!!! Many workmen may have just did the job agreed. I googled it, and it was a necessary addition at a fair price. 5 year guarantee. I would use again, and recommend.”

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.

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?

Condition of tiles, slates or sheets
