What we look for on a Edinburgh roof condition survey
Tile and slate condition
Slipped, cracked, missing or delaminated tiles and slates, plus worn mortar bedding that could let water in.
Ridges, verges and valleys
Failed ridge caps, broken dry verges and debris-filled valleys that are common failure points on Scottish roofs.
Chimneys, flashings and leadwork
Lifted or cracked lead flashings, damaged chimney stacks and poor pointing where roofs meet walls.
Gutters, fascia and soffits
Blocked, sagging or overflowing gutters, plus rotting fascia boards and soffits that often hide bigger issues.
Why Edinburgh roofs need a closer look
Slate, lead and stone
Older Edinburgh roofs fail at the details — slipped slates, split lead, cracked cope stones. Close-up aerial shots catch them early.
Listed and tenement buildings
No scaffolding needed, so there's nothing to agree with a conservation officer or a stair full of owners.
Box gutters and hidden valleys
The parts of the roof you can never see from the street are the parts that cause the damage. We photograph them all.

Edinburgh roof condition survey questions
How much is a roof condition survey in Edinburgh?
£99 for a residential property in Edinburgh and £149 for a commercial one. That is a fixed price — no call-out charge, no scaffolding hire and no extra for awkward or high roofs anywhere in EH postcodes.
Which parts of Edinburgh do you fly?
All of EH postcodes (EH), including New Town, Leith, Morningside and the surrounding villages. Enter your postcode on the booking form and it will confirm coverage before you pay.
How quickly can you get to me?
Usually within a few working days, weather permitting — we can't fly safely in high winds or heavy rain, so we book the first suitable window. You choose a preferred date and an AM or PM slot and we call to confirm.
What does a general roof survey cover?
It is a photographic condition inspection of the visible roof areas: tiles/slates, ridges, valleys, chimneys, flashings, gutters, fascia and soffits. It is not a structural survey and we do not enter the loft or remove tiles.
Do I need a general survey or a storm damage survey?
Choose a general survey for routine condition, buying a house, or maintenance planning. Choose storm or hail damage surveys when you need evidence for a specific weather event or insurance claim.
