Important Information
This is a visual roof condition survey based on accessible areas at the time of inspection. It is not a structural engineer’s report or RICS survey.
Roof surveys are visual inspections carried out from accessible areas only. Concealed defects, hidden structural issues or inaccessible areas may require further investigation. No invasive opening-up works are carried out during standard inspections unless agreed separately.
Recommendations are based on visible conditions at the time of inspection.
Our reports are designed to provide practical, straightforward guidance to help clients make informed decisions before repair works or property purchase.
