What Our Ratton Roof Surveys Cover

A roof inspection in Ratton is not a distant visual check from ground level. We access the roof surface and inspect each area physically — tile condition, nail fixing condition (critical on Ratton's 1960s–80s Ratton Estate stock where nail sickness is a risk), ridge and hip mortar, lead flashing grade and fixing integrity, valley condition and drainage, chimney condition on all faces, and the felt and batten condition from inside the loft where accessible. We also inspect all guttering and roofline components.

The written report we provide covers: a condition summary for each roof element; any immediate concerns requiring urgent attention clearly separated from recommended maintenance items; an assessment of remaining useful life for the key components; and a photographic record of all areas of concern. This report is formatted for use in property transactions, insurance claims, or simply as a condition baseline.

Pre-Purchase Surveys in Ratton

Pre-purchase roof surveys are among the most valuable uses of a free inspection. The 1960s–80s Ratton Estate housing stock in Ratton, with its concrete interlocking tile, has specific failure patterns that a standard RICS survey may not identify with the specificity of a specialist roofing inspection. We work to your exchange deadline, provide the report within 48 hours of the survey visit, and format it to support any price renegotiation or pre-exchange repair request you may need to make.
