“Thomas and Robin from TOB Roofing Solutions Ltd did a great job repairing our extension roof and replacing the felt on our loft room roof. They took the time to inspect everything properly, genuinely looking for potential issues rather than just completing the obvious work. Everything was clearly explained and completed to a high standard. The work also comes with a 15-year guarantee, giving us extra peace of mind. Friendly, professional and hardworking throughout. Highly recommended.”

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

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