It is possible to get roof surveys conducted for free, usually by roofing contractors or sometimes, manufacturers.
The reason that contractors or manufacturers offer free surveys is because it allows them to sell you their products or services.
Such surveys will undoubtedly be limited in scope and will not include any kind of professional advice.
They will be biased towards their own product or service, naturally, because the survey is being carried out for free.
This means that in most cases, the survey will only have limited value to you, which might be fine and perfectly suitable for what you want, for example, pricing information.
In the commercial and industrial property sector (which is where we specialise), roofs are often quite large, so it’s relatively easy to dangle a carrot for manufacturers and contractors to visit your site and conduct a survey, because the protential sale is likely to be quite high value.
However, if you have issues with a large commercial or industrial roof, then it’s a wiser decision to obtain true professional advice.
That’s where we come in.
As independent roofing advisors, our surveys concentrate on the problems you are experiencing and look for numerous ways to solve them.
The survey is more detailed than a manufacturer or contrractor is likely to provide, because you are paying for the time spent on site and in preparing a meaningful report that you can use to make informed decisions about your roof.
Each of our surveys will provide you with an extensive portfolio of photographs, along with a commentary explaining various defects or issues found with your roof.
It will not try to sell you a particular solution. It’s not designed to scare you into a buying decision.
In fact, most of our clients are happy to pay our fees because the information they receive is far more detailed than any free survey could possibly offer – and they’re free to use the report in any way they choose afterwards.
