What we look for on a Edinburgh insurance roof report

Date-stamped photographic evidence

Every photograph is captured and stored with the survey date, so there's no argument about when the damage was recorded.

Defect-by-defect descriptions

Each finding is circled on the image with a plain-English description and a severity grade rather than a vague summary.

Whole-roof coverage

All elevations photographed, so an adjuster can see the undamaged areas as well as the damaged ones.

Printable and shareable

A secure online link for the adjuster plus a print-ready version for paper files.

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 insurance roof report questions

How much is a insurance roof report 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.

Is this a structural survey?

No. It is a photographic roof condition report. We document visible defects from the air; we don't carry out structural calculations or intrusive investigation.

Can you deal with the insurer for me?

We provide the evidence, not the claim handling. Most people forward the report to their insurer or loss assessor themselves.
