Professional Roof Condition Surveys in Tamworth, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield & Surrounding Areas

Buying or selling a property? Concerned about the condition of your roof? Has a mortgage valuation or homebuyer's survey identified potential roofing defects?

At RST Midlands, we offer professional roof condition surveys to help homeowners, property buyers, sellers, estate agents and conveyancing solicitors understand the condition of a property's roof.

With over 30 years of experience in the roofing and building industry, our experienced team provides detailed roof inspections, photographic evidence and clear written reports identifying visible defects, potential concerns and recommended remedial works.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, selling a property or investigating an existing roofing problem, our specialist roof inspections provide practical information to help you make informed decisions.

Why Have a Professional Roof Condition Survey?

A roof is one of the most important elements of any property, protecting the building from the weather and helping to prevent costly water damage.

Unfortunately, roofing defects aren't always obvious from ground level. Cracked tiles, deteriorating ridge mortar, defective flashings, damaged underlay and ageing flat roof coverings can go unnoticed until water starts entering the property.

A professional roof condition survey can help identify these issues before they develop into more serious and expensive problems.

Our roof inspections are particularly beneficial when:

Buying a property – Understand the condition of the roof and identify potential repair costs before committing to a purchase.
Selling a property – Identify roofing issues that could delay a sale or affect negotiations.
A homebuyer's survey raises concerns – Obtain a specialist roofing assessment to investigate defects highlighted in a RICS Home Survey or mortgage valuation.
Experiencing leaks or damp patches – Investigate visible roofing defects that may be contributing to water ingress.
Planning renovations or extensions – Assess the condition of existing roofing materials before carrying out further building work.
Maintaining an older property – Identify maintenance requirements and help plan future roofing expenditure.

What Does Our Roof Condition Survey Include?

Every property is different, which is why our inspections are tailored to the roof construction, accessibility and visible condition of the building.

Our surveys can cover both pitched and flat roofing systems, including:

Pitched Roof Inspections

Concrete and clay roof tiles
Natural and artificial slates
Ridge and hip tiles
Mortar bedding and pointing
Dry ridge and dry verge systems
Roof valleys and junctions
Lead flashings and abutments
Chimney stacks and associated roof details
Fascias, soffits and guttering
Roof ventilation and eaves details
Visible signs of deterioration, damage or water ingress

Flat Roof Inspections

Torch-on felt roofing systems
EPDM rubber roofing membranes
GRP fibreglass roofing systems
Roof edge trims and perimeter details
Upstands and flashing details
Roof outlets and drainage
Ponding water and drainage concerns
Visible membrane damage, splitting or deterioration
Roof decking condition where visible and accessible
General maintenance requirements

Where a property has multiple roof areas, such as a main house, garage, conservatory or extension, we can assess each roof separately within the same report.

Detailed Roof Survey Reports With Photographic Evidence

Following the inspection, we provide a professionally presented roof condition report designed to be informative and easy to understand.

Our reports can include:

1. Roof construction and materials

A description of the roofing system, covering materials and visible construction details.

2. Roof condition assessment

An evaluation of the condition of each inspected roof area, highlighting areas requiring attention.

3. Photographic evidence

Photographs documenting visible defects, deterioration and areas of concern.

4. Condition ratings

Clear condition indicators to help distinguish between satisfactory areas, maintenance requirements and more serious defects.

5. Detailed findings

Written explanations of identified roofing defects and their potential implications.

6. Recommended remedial works

Practical recommendations for maintenance, repair or replacement where appropriate.

7. Repair quotations

Where requested, RST Midlands can provide a separate quotation for recommended roofing works.

Our aim is to provide more than a simple list of defects. We want our clients to understand what the problem is, why it matters and what can be done to address it.

Roof Surveys for Homebuyers

Don't Let Unexpected Roofing Repairs Become an Expensive Surprise

Purchasing a property is a major financial commitment. Discovering that the roof requires significant repairs or replacement after moving in can result in unexpected expenditure.

If your homebuyer's survey has identified issues such as deteriorating roof coverings, defective ridge tiles, ageing roofing felt or suspected water ingress, a specialist roof inspection can help you understand the extent of visible defects.

Our reports can help prospective purchasers assess roofing concerns and obtain information about potential remedial work before exchanging contracts.
