Roof Condition Survey

One of the most popular Google searches in the roofing industry is “roof survey near me.”

While we may not be right beside your home, we cover all of Northern Ireland. It’s becoming more and more common for insurance companies to request a “Roof Condition Report” before renewing the insurance on a house or apartment, and we are getting asked to conduct roof surveys or reports regularly.

What is a Roof Condition Survey?

You could have more than one roof. Therefore we need to know how many we will need to survey.
It’s usually preferable if we can actually get onto the rooftops and have a good walk around. Therefore, we need to know how to access the roof or roofs. When required, we may occasionally utilise a drone to survey a roof, although this method doesn’t always provide all the information you want. Drone roof inspections must be carefully scheduled since we require favourable weather on the day of the roof inspection.
We can quote you a price for the roof condition survey once we have the address and know how easy it is to reach the roof.
“How much does a roof condition survey cost?” is a common question we receive. Unfortunately, due to the intricacy involved, each roof condition inspection has a different price.
We then schedule the roof condition survey on a convenient day.
Depending on the roof’s height and accessibility, access to the roof will be either through the building or by ladders. As we prepare to return to the office and compile a report, we will measure, photograph, and film the roof.
We will offer you a report on the roof’s condition and an estimate of the roof’s remaining lifetime. This, therefore, helps the insurance provider comprehend the ramifications of insuring your home’s roofing. We will also include any information we believe would be helpful in maintaining the condition of your roof.

We are in Belfast, so getting around the city takes some time. However, we can reach most locations in an hour or less.

Writing reports on flat roofs

About 40% of the time spent performing a roof survey is likely spent writing the reports and compiling the information. At Hydro Roofing and Landscaping we provide roof inspections on pitched tiled roofs and flat roofs. Private property insurance providers are increasingly more regularly requesting a report on the state of flat roofs and pitched roofs, mostly tiled or slate roofs.

If you consider the implications of what the home insurance companies are doing, they are significantly reducing the number of claims they could potentially receive by requiring the property owner to have a roof survey before renewing the insurance on that property. This is because the roofing surveyor will discover the majority of roof defects.

So, as we already mentioned, looking for a surveyor by just typing in their name and location is probably not the ideal strategy. Instead, try searching for roof surveyors in areas with a higher population if you are in the countryside or try typing “Belfast” if you are close to the city.
