Roof Surveys
A roof survey establishes what is actually there before anyone specifies or prices work. We core the build-up, moisture map the insulation, assess falls, outlets and details, and issue a costed report with options. It is the document that turns a suspected problem into a defensible budget.

- Core sampling, moisture meter, thermographic
- Output
- Photographed report with costed options

About Roof Surveys
Surveys exist to stop money being spent on the wrong scope. A roof that looks finished from ground level may only need an overlay. A roof that looks serviceable may be holding water through half its insulation. Neither is knowable without opening it up.
Our survey covers core sampling on a grid, moisture content readings at each core, a fall and ponding assessment, outlet capacity, condition of all details and upstands, deck condition, and where useful a thermographic scan to map wet insulation across the whole area rather than just at the cores.
The report sets out condition area by area with photographs, then gives you costed options: repair, overlay, partial or full replacement, with indicative figures and expected remaining life for each. It is written to be handed straight to a budget holder or used as the basis of a tender.
Best suited to
- Capital programme and budget planning
- Pre-acquisition and dilapidations due diligence
- Establishing scope before going to tender
- Recurring leaks with no identified cause

Common questions
Surveys, answered
What does the survey report contain?
Condition by roof area with photographs, the recorded build-up at each core, moisture mapping, an assessment of falls, outlets and details, and costed options with indicative figures and expected remaining life for each.
Can we use the report to tender the works elsewhere?
Yes. The report is yours. It is written so it can be issued as tender information, and we are happy for it to be used that way whether or not the works come to us.
