Roof condition inspection — Building surveyor
Explain whether the concern is a leak, storm damage, ageing materials or planning repairs. Provide safely obtained photographs, roof information and the history of internal symptoms so the inspector can choose an appropriate scope and access arrangement.
Service scope
Condition inspection of a roof and relevant accessible details, with the inspection method and limitations agreed in advance. This is a diagnostic and reporting service, distinct from roof repair and from a guarantee that no concealed water-entry path exists.
What is normally included
- Roof-condition observations within safe access
- Review of reported leaks and roof records
- Findings and repair-investigation priorities
What is not included
- Customer climbing onto a roof for photographs
- Guaranteed detection of every concealed defect
Typical tasks
- Review roof and leak information
- Agree a safe inspection method
- Inspect the accessible roof details
- Record visible defects and limitations
- Recommend repair priorities or further investigation
What to include in your brief
- Roof type and known age
- Leak or damage history
- Existing safe photographs
- Access information
- Previous repair or survey records
Choosing the right professional
Ask which areas and details the chosen method can actually inspect. Remote images, ground observations and closer access have different limitations, so the report should not imply full coverage where visibility is restricted.
Important considerations
- Fragile surfaces require specialist access planning
- A visible internal stain may not identify the roof entry point
