Existing and New Roof Inspection in Chichester, Midhurst, Sussex and the South Coast
While our name is synonymous with appointment-based and emergency roof repairs in addition to cherry picker and operator hire, Sussex & South Coast Property Services is also the company to trust for new roof inspections. We will inspect pitched, flat and metal roofing when somebody wants to purchase a property and a surveyor has suggested bringing in an independent roofing company to look at the property’s roof from inside and outside of the build.
Because we have a cherry picker available, we access even the hardest-to-reach areas of the property in a safe and controlled manner.
Areas covered with our roof inspection services include:
Chichester | Midhurst | Sussex | The South Coast
Please contact us to request a prompt and timely inspection.
During an inspection, we will look at the structural integrity of the roof and go on to check the condition of the loft space. This is a service undertaken by a professional tradesperson with more than 40 years of roofing experience.
A new roof inspection, or the inspection of an older roofing structure if there is a customer wanting to buy a previously lived-in property, will determine the condition of the installation. This is a proactive way to find out if your plans to invest into a property could lead to added repair and restoration costs. When you book an inspection, you take an important step towards detecting issues at the earliest stage, and in protecting your assets and your personal welfare.
A Complete Roof Inspection Service
Choosing a new roof inspection service in Chichester, Midhurst or any area in our region is an informed choice for those who are looking at buying a newly-built home, but our approach is flexible enough to cater to inspections on all other pitched or flat structures. We follow a set of stringent procedures based on the property’s design and the type of covering that is fitted to the roof.
Checklists ensure that nothing is ever overlooked.
Because we have appropriate experience and skillsets, Sussex & South Coast Property Services can find defects or instances of water ingress that could go on to become a future problem. It is never a good idea to proceed with a purchase without booking in for a new roof inspection, or a similar inspection if the build you have shown an interest in has been previously occupied.
Components checked during an inspection include:
- The main field of the installed roof covering
- Ridge tile, fixing and mortar condition
- The roofline’s fascias, soffits and guttering
- Above-ground drainage for rainwater
- The internal box gutters and valley pitches
- Fixings and flashings on profiled roofing
- Decking condition on flat roofing structures
- Condensation and cold bridges in loft areas
- Internal and external checks for sags in a roof
- Chimney pots, cowls, flaunching and leadwork
While this list is by no means exhaustive, it should provide a much clearer idea of how we perform new roof inspections in Chichester, Midhurst and all areas in Sussex and on the South Coast. We are equally meticulous in inspecting the roofs of older properties, even those considered to be in dilapidation.
