Home / Checklists / Roof inspection

Roof inspection

This list is for what you can see without getting on the roof. Leave the roof to the roofer. Write down what you notice so the visit starts with facts.

From the ground

Missing, slipped or cracked tiles or lifted sheets
Rust or stains around flashings, skylights and valleys
Gutters overflowing or pulling off the fascia
Daylight in the roof space where it should be dark

Inside

Ceiling stains, and whether they grow after rain
Sagging ceiling under a valley or a flat roof
Damp smell in a cupboard on an outside wall

Before the roofer arrives

You have photos with a date
You know the age of the roof if anyone in the house does
Solar panels, whistles and aerials are mentioned
You have asked whether the quote is inspect-only or inspect-and-repair
