Start with the problem, not a product
Short answer
A roof-focused inspection can provide closer detail on coverings, flashings, drainage and visible roof-space clues. It cannot confirm hidden construction without opening up and does not guarantee future performance.

Pre-Purchase Roof Surveys FAQs
Questions to ask before work starts
These answers explain what photos can show, what still needs inspection and how access and quotation details are agreed.
All Dundee roofing FAQsCan you quote for pre-purchase roof surveys from photographs?
Photos often help us understand the likely problem and the safest next step. A final quote may still need a close site inspection, especially where the source of water is hidden.
What else is checked with pre-purchase roof surveys?
A sound pre-purchase roof surveys plan should include the surrounding covering, fixings, flashings and water route rather than treating one visible symptom on its own.
Will pre-purchase roof surveys need scaffolding?
Safe access for pre-purchase roof surveys depends on the height, roof shape and surroundings. The quotation should explain the proposed access after the roof has been assessed.
Can pre-purchase roof surveys be completed in wet or windy weather?
Some make-safe work may be possible, but permanent pre-purchase roof surveys needs suitable conditions and a safe surface. Never climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
What should my pre-purchase roof surveys quote include?
It should explain the pre-purchase roof surveys work, planned materials, access, waste removal and any possible extra work that cannot be confirmed until the roof is opened.
