Contact Us

At CH Roofing we have experience with working on, and inspecting roofs of all shapes, sizes and various roofing materials. Our years of experience mean we’ve worked on all kinds of roofing projects, from homes to warehouses, and everything in between.

Why Have a Roof Inspected?

Proactive maintenance is key to maintaining the condition of your roof. Whether that’s your home or business you can trust our certified team take the initiative to provide meticulous roof inspection service. This comprehensive evaluation includes a detailed examination of the membrane, drainage systems, flashings, and any penetrations. A specialist roof inspection doesn’t just involve a visual examination of the roof, we spend a couple of hours to delve into the details, identifying minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs.

There are many reasons why you might want a roof inspection. For example, you might suspect there is a fault with the roof, the roof might be in a poor state of repair, or the roof might have suffered storm damage. You might also be making an insurance claim related to the roof, or you might wish to prove to a landlord or freeholder that the roof needs repair. Finally, an inspection might be required for mortgage approval.

Thorough Roof Inspections

Our thorough roof inspection covers a variety of components. These include the roof covering itself, ensuring it’s free from damage and securely fastened. Checking that the flashing, the material that seals around chimneys, skylights, and other penetrations, is examined for leaks. We also make sure that chimneys including their pointing, brickwork, and pots, are inspected for structural integrity and potential damage.

Drainage and guttering are examined to ensure they’re clear and functioning properly. Parapet walls, which are low walls around the edge of a flat roof, are checked for stability and signs of wear. Skylights are inspected for cracks or damage. Fascias, soffits, and barge boards, which are the decorative and functional elements around the roof’s edge, are also assessed. Finally, the internal timbers and insulation in the loft are checked for signs of moisture damage or inadequate insulation.

Regular Roof Inspections

Whether or not you have a specific reason for arranging a roof inspection (such as those mentioned above) as roofing experts we recommend that you have your roof inspected on a regular basis in any case.

The frequency of roof inspections depends on the age of the roof, its repair history and the weather it is exposed to. We do suggest that a roof inspection be carried out at the very least every five years to spot any potential issues.

If your roof has not been checked for some time, or you have recently moved into a property and don’t know when the roof was last inspected, you’d be wise to have us inspection the roof as soon as possible.

A sound roof in good repair is essential to the well-being of the whole of a building. If moisture penetrates – even just a little – damage to the structure could become catastrophic over time.
