FAQs
Why is it important to schedule a professional roof inspection?
A professional inspection identifies small problems—such as loose shingles, cracked flashing, or blocked gutters—before they turn into leaks, structural damage, or costly emergency repairs. Trained inspectors use specialised equipment and industry-approved methods to spot issues that are invisible from the ground, document overall roof health, and provide objective advice. Regular inspections can extend the life of your roof, preserve manufacturer warranties, and safeguard the value of your home or commercial property.
How often should I have my roof inspected in the Guild area?
We recommend at least one inspection per year, ideally in spring or early autumn, plus an additional check after any severe storm with high winds or hail. Guild’s mix of wet winters and occasional summer heatwaves accelerates wear on roofing materials, so an annual inspection schedule helps ensure minor weather-related damage is caught quickly.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a multi-point evaluation: (1) exterior assessment of shingles, tiles, or metal panels; (2) inspection of flashing, chimneys, vents, and skylights; (3) gutter and downpipe condition check; (4) interior loft/attic examination for moisture, insulation performance, and ventilation; (5) digital moisture mapping and thermal imaging where necessary; and (6) photographic documentation of all findings. You receive a detailed written report with clear recommendations ranked by urgency.
How long will the inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential roof inspections take 60–90 minutes, while large or complex roofs can require up to three hours. You do not have to be present, but we do need safe access to the roof and loft/attic space. If you can’t be on site, our inspector will call you beforehand to confirm access arrangements and will email the report, photos, and any video footage within 24 hours.
Will the inspection report include repair estimates and photographs?
Yes. Every inspection package comes with high-resolution images of any defects and an itemised estimate for recommended repairs, including materials, labour, and projected timelines. This documentation makes it easy to compare quotes, file insurance claims, or plan preventative maintenance.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and is the fee refundable if repairs are needed?
A standard residential inspection in Guild starts at £120 + VAT. Commercial or larger properties are priced after a brief phone assessment. If you commission us to carry out the recommended repair work within 60 days of the report, we credit 100% of the inspection fee toward the final invoice, effectively making the inspection free.
