Frequently Asked Questions
What does a roof inspection actually involve?
This varies by roofing professional, but typically includes a visual assessment of the covering, flashing and guttering, and, where safely accessible, the loft space. Some offer a written report — it's worth asking what's included when you enquire.
Do I need a roof inspection before buying a house?
It's not a legal requirement, but a dedicated roof inspection can be a useful addition to a standard property survey, particularly if the roof's condition isn't covered in much detail elsewhere. Many buyers find it reassuring ahead of a purchase.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
This varies between roofing professionals — some offer a free assessment as part of quoting for further work, others charge a fee, particularly for a detailed written report. It's worth asking upfront what's included and whether there's a charge.
Will an inspection tell me exactly how long my roof has left?
An inspection can give a professional opinion on condition and likely remaining lifespan, but it's an assessment rather than a guarantee. Our guide on how long a roof typically lasts has more general context on this.
