WHY HAVE A ROOF SURVEY IN DERBY?

A roof survey can help homeowners and property buyers better understand the visible condition of a roof before defects develop into more costly problems. Issues such as damaged tiles, deteriorated flashings, blocked gutters and defective roof details can often be difficult to assess properly from ground level.

If you are buying a property in Derby, an independent roof inspection can also help identify visible defects before completion, giving you useful photographic evidence and clear findings that can be used when considering repairs, maintenance or obtaining quotations.

Roofstudy carries out independent roof surveys and roof inspections across Derby using high-resolution drone imagery to assess the visible condition of the roof. We inspect roof coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters, rooflights and other accessible roof details for visible defects, deterioration and maintenance issues.

Where loft access is available, we can also carry out an internal visual inspection to check accessible roof timbers, underlay, insulation and signs of moisture or water ingress. Our findings are then presented in a clear written report supported by detailed photographs.

The survey was carried out the same day as my initial request- you can't get a better response than that. Clear professional report produced within 4 days. Great work.

Excellent service. I wanted a pre-purchase report. Dan was very responsive to emails, carried out the inspection very quickly and provided a detailed report with photographs. I am very impressed and would recommend to anyone looking to have an inspection of the roof before they proceed with their purchase of a property.

up on your roof call Roofstudy- it's a noAfter a damp survey reported I had problems with my roof, I quickly got roofers round to advise and price for getting things fixed. They all priced me from the ground, which didn't fill me with confidence. So I emailed Roofstudy, and I got a swift reply from Dan with a price, and then an arrangement was made to come out the same week (weather permitting), and the report came through the same day. Absolutely fabulous service. If you need to know what's happening-brainer. I will be recommending Roofstudy to family and friends. I wish you great success with your business.

A fantastic service. Surveying my very tall three story house's roof, which would have otherwise been impossible without mountains of expensive scaffold. Dan is a real gent, who takes the time to understand your needs, and delivered a very detailed and professional report under impressive timescales.

We reached out to Dan for a pre-purchase roof inspection and received very professional, down-to-earth, quality service. He was very meticulous in pointing out all the concerns relating to the property which worked in our favour! We would highly recommend Dan and what Roofstudy has to offer! We will definitely be using his services again and will be recommending him to our friends who are also in the same position as we are. Thank you so much!

Dan has been great to work with, very patient and professional. The pre-purchase roof inspection that was carried out was very detailed, with great quality photos of the full roof. I would recommend for anyone buying a house to get this done on top of the usual survey, as seeing the roof from outside can reveal very useful information that survey from the inside cannot.
