Free roof inspections in Aylesbury

When to book an inspection

• A damp patch, stain or drip inside, however small.
• Slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates.
• After a storm, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground.
• Moss, blocked gutters or water spilling over the edge.
• A flat roof that is blistering, cracking or holding water.
• Before you plan an extension, a loft conversion or a new roof.

What we check

• The covering: tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges and how they are fixed.
• The leadwork: flashings, valleys, aprons and chimney leadwork, where most leaks start.
• Chimneys: pointing, flaunching, pots and the stack itself.
• Flat roofs: the covering, edges, upstands and outlets.
• The roofline: fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes.
• The loft, if we can: underlay, timbers and signs of damp.

We get up close, use drone photography where it helps and check the loft if we can. You see every photo.

What you get afterwards

You get the photos and a plain explanation of what we found. The written quote separates what needs doing now from what can safely wait, so you can plan. If the roof is sound, we say so.

For leaks, finding the true entry point matters more than the damp patch, which can be some distance away. That is why we look at the junctions first: flashings, valleys, chimneys and where tiles meet walls or dormers.

Is it really free?

Yes. The inspection and the written quote cost nothing and there is no obligation to go ahead. We would rather you understood your roof and came back when you are ready than paid for work you do not need.

Why our inspections are different

A quote given from the ground is a guess. We investigate properly before we quote, every time and we show you what we found. With more than 40 years in the trade and leadwork done in house, we know where roofs fail and what a proper repair looks like.
