What does a roof inspection cover?
We look at the roof from the ground and then up close. The inspection covers the following.
- The roof covering: tiles, shingles, metal panels or flat membrane, and signs of wear, cracking or lifting.
- Flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and valleys.
- Vent boots, pipes and other penetrations.
- Ridges, hips and edges, including the mortar or fasteners that hold them.
- Gutters and drainage, and areas where water collects.
- The attic where it is accessible, looking for stains, damp insulation and daylight.
We take photos as we go and note the roof's approximate age and material. Where something needs attention, the report says what it is, how urgent it is, and what the repair would involve.
