Roof Surveys & Roof Inspections in Poole, Bournemouth & Dorset

Most roof problems aren't visible from the ground — but drone surveys can miss important details, while scaffolding is often unnecessary for a professional roof survey or roof inspection.

We carry out professional roof surveys and roof inspections using our own cherry picker across Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset — allowing us to carry out close-up, hands-on inspections, properly assess details, investigate suspected problem areas, and help identify the cause of leaks and other roofing problems on residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Each roof survey or roof inspection is carried out based on the type of roof, the condition of the property and any specific concerns being investigated.

Depending on the roof and the purpose of the survey or inspection, we can check:

• Roof tiles, sheets or coverings for damage, movement or wear
• Rooflight condition
• Cut edge corrosion
• Fixings integrity and signs of failure
• Flashing and seals around chimneys, edges and penetrations
• Ridge tiles and mortar joints
• Gutters, outlets and drainage points
• General roof condition and visible signs of deterioration

When a Roof Survey Can Help

Whether you're investigating a problem, assessing a property purchase or simply want reassurance about the condition of your roof, a professional roof survey can help identify issues before they become more serious.

Roof surveys are often used to investigate leaks, assess roof condition, support maintenance planning and provide a clearer understanding of any repairs that may be required.

We also assist roofing contractors, surveyors and building companies with inspections, investigations and safe access to roof areas during ongoing works.

Using our own cherry picker allows us to access roof areas quickly and efficiently without the delays often associated with scaffolding. Being physically at roof level allows details to be inspected more closely and, where appropriate, materials to be lifted or moved to gain a better understanding of the condition of the roof.

With over 30 years of experience in commercial and industrial roofing, cladding and building envelope systems, Dob understands how roofs are put together and how they fail. Rather than simply looking for visible damage, he's assessing how the roof has been constructed, identifying signs of failure and helping determine the likely cause of roofing problems.

Following the inspection, we'll provide clear feedback on what we've found, including photographs where required and practical recommendations based on the condition of the roof. Where issues are identified, we'll explain the likely cause and advise on any repairs, maintenance or further investigation that may be required.
