Every project starts with a no obligation survey. Our surveyors attend site quickly, inspect the roof and its details, take core samples and photographs, and issue a written report with options and budget costs at no charge. For estates teams, that report becomes the basis of a planned maintenance programme or a capital bid.
A full inspection of the roof covering, details, outlets, rooflights, upstands and edge protection, with core samples and a moisture survey where there is insulation in the build-up. Everything is photographed and the findings are set out plainly, with a condition grading for each roof area.
For a roof that is failing, the report sets out the options: repair, overlay or strip and recover, with budget costs and the guarantee period each would carry. For a portfolio, it ranks the roofs so the money goes where it is needed first.
Our surveyors produce the specification, bespoke details and drawings, U-value calculations and wind load design for tender or for direct appointment. Because we install as approved contractors, the specification is written with the manufacturer and can be guaranteed by them.
Schools, colleges and trusts use our reports and budget costs to prepare CIF and capital funding bids. South and City College Birmingham described the surveys, inspection reports and budget costs we provided at no cost as a valued added service in preparing their submissions.
Yes. Attending site, inspecting the roof, core samples, photographs and the written report with options and budget costs are all at no cost and with no obligation. We do it because a roof we have surveyed is a roof we can specify and guarantee properly, and most clients who see the report come back to us.
Normally within a few working days from the initial enquiry, from whichever office is closer. For a live leak we will come sooner and deal with the leak first.
A description of each roof area and its build-up, the condition of the covering and details, core sample and moisture results, photographs, a condition rating, the recommended option with alternatives, budget costs and the guarantee period each option would carry.
Yes. Multi-site condition surveys for academy trusts, universities, local authorities and managing agents are a regular part of the work, and the output is a prioritised programme rather than a pile of individual reports.
Yes. Our surveyors produce U-value calculations, tapered insulation schemes, wind load calculations and bespoke detail drawings as part of the specification, all checked with the membrane manufacturer.
