Roof Survey

We offer comprehensive roof surveys to ensure the longevity and structural integrity of your property’s most crucial component. A roof is not just a protective barrier; it’s an investment in the safety and value of your home or business. Our team of experienced surveyors is dedicated to providing detailed roof assessments, utilising our many years of industry expertise. Whether you’re a homeowner seeking to get repairs for your roof or a real estate professional looking to evaluate a property’s condition, our roof surveys offer a tailored approach to meet your specific needs.

What Is Roof Survey?

A roof survey serves as a comprehensive evaluation of the condition and structural integrity of your roof. It is an examination carried out by qualified surveyors that delves into the intricate details and potential damages that may compromise the effectiveness of your roofing system. During a roof survey, a trained professional inspects your roof, identifying any existing issues or vulnerabilities. This examination includes a thorough analysis of shingles, flashing, gutters, and other critical components.

One of the primary purposes of a roof survey is to document and detail any necessary repairs. By identifying problems early on, you can address them promptly, potentially saving you from costly repairs down the road. Furthermore, roof surveys can be invaluable when dealing with third parties, such as insurance companies or contractors. The documented findings and photographic evidence can serve as a powerful tool to demand necessary repairs or justify insurance claims.

Roof surveys are a proactive approach to protecting your investment, ensuring the longevity of your roof, and providing you with the evidence you may need to maintain or enhance the structural integrity of your property.

Detailed Roof Repair Reports

Our comprehensive roof surveys are designed to provide you with a detailed assessment of your roof’s condition, with a specific focus on identifying and documenting any necessary repairs. These surveys are conducted by our highly skilled and experienced professionals.

During the roof survey, every aspect of your roofing system is thoroughly examined, from the condition of the shingles and flashing to the integrity of the gutters and drainage systems. We use technology and industry expertise to provide you with an in-depth analysis of the issues at hand.

Our main objective is to provide you with the insights required to make informed choices regarding your roof’s maintenance and repair requirements. Whether you’re a leaseholder aiming to prolong your roof’s lifespan or a freeholder in need of budgeting for essential repairs, our thorough roof surveys serve as an essential resource. Through our meticulous documentation and photographic evidence, you’ll possess the essential information to efficiently prioritise and tackle repairs, thus ensuring the ongoing safeguarding of your property.

Surveys for Insurance Claims

When needing to file an insurance claim, the insurer will request a survey report conducted by a qualified third party. In this report, they will expect to see the extent of the damage as well as the required repair work. As we prepare your report, our services encompass not only thorough documentation but also the capture of photographic evidence, offering a comprehensive account of the factors that contributed to the damage. 

This approach serves a dual purpose: firstly, it ensures that your insurance provider is equipped with a detailed and objective assessment of the situation, helping to facilitate a smoother claims process. Secondly, it helps safeguard your rights as a policyholder, ensuring that your insurer fulfills its obligations and honors the terms of your policy, providing you with the financial support you need to address your roof repair needs effectively and efficiently.

Roof Surveys for Leaseholders

In the majority of situations, it falls under the responsibility of your freeholder to ensure that your roof remains in optimal condition and that repairs are managed. When issues such as roof leaks arise, our dedicated team can step in to assess both the root cause and the extent of the damage, providing you with a comprehensive report that can be instrumental in your communication with your freeholder. Should your landlord be unwilling to address the necessary repairs, the detailed roof survey will be a crucial tool in legal discrepancies.

It is important to recognise that the responsibility for maintaining the roof typically rests with your freeholder. If you suspect that they are failing to fulfill their obligations in this regard, we are here to assist. By entrusting us to inspect your roof, you gain access to a professional evaluation that not only pinpoints issues but also furnishes you with a report that can potentially be a catalyst for legal recourse.

Our aim is to empower you, the leaseholder, with the information and documentation needed to protect your rights and uphold the integrity of your property. When you engage our services, you are taking a proactive step toward ensuring that your living environment remains safe, secure, and in compliance with legal standards.

Nick was a tremendous help with surveying our home and providing a timely report. He also arranged for our Party Wall Award, which was at times quite testing. He was professional and experienced all the way through. We will use him again if we ever needed too.

In my search for a new home, STH had the dubious “privilege” of providing me with three (!) building surveys on three prospective properties. Thankfully, the third survey passed muster and gave me the assurance to complete on the purchase. Communication with Trevor, Nick and the team was excellent. They were approachable and knowledgeable, and the sound, professional advice received was greatly appreciated. I would certainly use STH again and have no hesitation in recommending them to you.
