Homebuyer roof survey

Homebuyer survey seems simple and easy, carried out by the appointed surveyor company / surveyor, for the agreed cost, but it doesn’t cover the roof inspection in some cases, if the roof is not or just hardly accessible.

Sometimes the general surveyor has not ability, tools, gears and equipment to access and inspect all aspect, real conditions and possible issues / defects of the roof, which would be one of the most important information in the surveyor report. Our experienced team specialises in these special surveys / inspections. We can access all areas of the building from top to bottom and inspect all aspects of the roof, chimneys, gutters, eves and other hidden areas of the building in person by our professional roofer abseiler team or using our special gears, drones and special cameras to see and inspect all parts of the building.
