Roof Inspections & Surveys in Leicestershire

Generally, we advise getting your roof checked over at least once every two to three years. However, if your property is older, has experienced severe weather (like heavy storms or high winds, which aren't uncommon around Leicester), or if you've noticed any small concerns yourself, an annual check-up is a really good idea. Proactive roof maintenance means your roof stays robust and helps extend its lifespan considerably, saving you the hassle and cost of a premature re-roof.

When our expert roofers carry out a roof inspection in Leicester, we don't just glance up. We perform a thorough, detailed roof survey of every accessible part of your roof. This includes checking all tiles or slates for damage, assessing the condition of your lead flashing around chimneys and valleys, examining your gutters, fascias, and soffits, and looking for any signs of water ingress or structural issues. We get right up there to give you a clear, honest assessment of your roof’s health, making sure nothing is missed. If needed, we can even use drone roof survey technology for those really tricky, high, or awkward spots, giving us a comprehensive view without scaffolding.

Absolutely. We’re specialists in both residential roof inspection and commercial roof inspection services across Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area. Whether it’s a small terraced house in Clarendon Park, a large detached family home in Oadby, a business premises in the city centre, or an industrial unit in Thurmaston, our team has the experience and equipment to provide a detailed and reliable roof report for any type of building.

Yes, we certainly can. For roofs that are exceptionally high, steeply pitched, or difficult to access safely, our drone roof survey service is an invaluable tool. It allows us to get high-definition images and videos of every inch of your roof structure, chimney stacks, and valleys without needing extensive scaffolding. This means a quicker, safer, and often more cost-effective inspection, especially for larger commercial buildings or complex residential roofs. It’s perfect for getting a full picture of your roof's condition.

Once our roof inspection is complete, you won't be left wondering. We'll put together a clear and easy-to-understand roof report, complete with photographs of any issues we've found. This report will detail the current condition of your roof, highlight any necessary repairs or maintenance work, and provide our expert recommendations. We then sit down with you to discuss everything, answer any questions you have, and give you a transparent, no-obligation quote for any recommended work. Our goal is to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.

We believe in transparency right from the start. We’re happy to offer a free roof inspection quote for many standard property surveys. The exact cost can depend on the size and complexity of your roof, or if specialist equipment like drone roof survey technology is required. After our initial chat, we’ll give you a clear price, so you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden surprises. Your peace of mind is important to us.

Often, your roof will give you clues it needs some attention. Look out for things like water stains on your ceilings or walls, especially after heavy rain – that’s a sure sign of a leak detection problem. You might also notice missing or cracked tiles on the ground, granules in your gutters (from asphalt shingles), or sagging sections of your roof. Even persistent draughts or an unexplained increase in your energy bills can sometimes point to issues with your roof’s insulation or integrity. If you spot any of these, it’s definitely time for an expert roof inspection.
