The local perspective

Understand the roof.
Not just the room below.

A ceiling stain is only one part of the story. The relevant detail may be at a chimney, a roof junction or a concealed valley. Start by asking what is visible from outside and what still needs investigation.

01

Junctions and changes in level

Where a dormer, chimney or extension meets the main roof, the detail matters. We consider visible flashings, coverings and the route water takes.

02

Shared and difficult access

For terraced or divided properties, tell us which part of the roof is included and how access can be arranged. Ownership and responsibility should be checked separately.

03

Questions before exchange

Send any comments from your building survey. A targeted roof inspection can help you explore those concerns before you decide on the next step.

What the survey is for

Turn the view
into a next step.

The useful outcome is a clearer understanding of the roof’s visible condition, with photographs and an explanation of the findings.

  • Identify the areas that deserve attention
  • Understand inspection and access limitations
  • Discuss suitable repairs or further investigation

Scope, price and reporting arrangements are agreed before booking. A roof inspection does not guarantee that every hidden defect will be found.

How it works

From first question
to next step.

  1. Tell us what you need.

    Share the address, your reason for the survey and any access details. If a buyer’s survey or insurer has raised a question, let us know.

  2. Agree the inspection.

    We discuss the scope, access, price and reporting arrangements before booking. Drone use depends on the property, weather and flight conditions.

  3. Make a clearer decision.

    Use the findings and photographs to understand the roof, discuss any further investigation and plan appropriate next steps.

A few useful answers

Before you
book.

Can you look at a roof on a Brighton terrace?

Yes, subject to suitable access and the agreed scope. Tell us about shared areas, rear access and any neighbouring property permissions that may be needed.

Does a ceiling stain prove where a roof is leaking?

No. Water can travel before it becomes visible inside. External inspection can identify areas of concern, but confirming a leak route may require further investigation.

Do you provide insurance inspection reports in Brighton?

We offer roof condition inspections for insurance enquiries. Visit our insurance inspections page and share the insurer’s requirements before booking.
