Start with a building-specific brief
Send the property address, building type and the question you need the inspection to help with. Identify common roof areas, known access restrictions and any earlier contractor notes or photographs.
If several addresses share one roof or a block has complex rear elevations, discuss the scope before using the standard booking form. Confirm which areas and buildings need to appear in the report so that owners are referring to the same inspection.
A practical record for common-repair discussions
Wide roof views help people understand the layout; closer photographs help locate reviewed visible concerns. The report provides a reference for asking contractors about the work they propose.
Photographic observations do not allocate liability, determine title conditions or settle how owners should share costs. Keep those decisions with the factor, owners and relevant advisers. Under One Roof provides independent guidance for Scottish tenement owners on maintenance and common repairs.
Plan visits around real access and flight constraints
A safe take-off and landing location and appropriate permissions still matter even when roof access is unnecessary. Tell us about courtyards, ongoing works, nearby obstructions or any restrictions affecting the property.
Locations affected by airport flight restrictions can require clearance. Renfrew is covered, but the extra permission process may add a few days. Preferred dates remain subject to confirmation and suitable weather.
Keep the record useful after the first inspection
Store the report with contractor correspondence and later work records. If you commission a further visit, identify the same roof areas and explain what changed or what work was completed.
For businesses producing their own reports from their own photographs, AyeInspect also offers a separate trade reporting workspace. That is software access, not an included inspection visit; the trade information pages explain that distinction.
Arrange one property or discuss a programme
Standard residential inspections are £99; commercial inspections are £149. Contact us first for large, complex or multi-address buildings so we can confirm the appropriate scope and booking route.
The visit and reviewed report are included in the agreed inspection service. Reports are normally delivered within 24 hours after the survey. For several properties, send the address list and priorities rather than assuming a bulk discount or a guaranteed completion programme.
