We recently received a call from a homeowner who was understandably distressed after having roofing works carried out by another contractor.
Upon attending the property, it quickly became apparent that the repairs were not only of a poor standard, but they had also failed to address the original cause of the water ingress. In several areas, the repairs had been carried out in the wrong locations altogether. Even more concerning, the scaffold erected on site was deemed so unsafe that it had to be dismantled and removed immediately.
The property, a beautiful detached period home on the Hampshire coast, deserved far better. The homeowner explained they had appointed the contractor after receiving a leaflet through the door and finding them affiliated with a local trade supplier online.
Following our inspection, Roof Surveying Services prepared a comprehensive schedule of remedial works to address both the defective repairs and the original water ingress. The works include repairs to the dormer, valley, chimney, leadwork, tiling, and associated mortar works. The client accepted our recommendations, and our team is now on site carrying out the necessary remedial works.
Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident. We are seeing an increasing number of enquiries from homeowners facing similar situations—poor workmanship, ineffective repairs, and, in many cases, a complete lack of health and safety compliance. It is a worrying trend within the industry.
At Roof Surveying Services, our commitment is simple:
✔ We aim to attend all new instructions within 2 hours of the initial enquiry wherever possible.
✔ Every site is inspected by experienced, qualified professionals, including roof surveyors, architects, roofing specialists, builders, or other experts where required.
✔ We provide estimates, reports, and professional recommendations within 24 hours of the site inspection wherever possible.
✔ Specialist requirements are coordinated immediately to ensure projects progress without unnecessary delay.
✔ We do not charge management fees—only our survey fee and the cost of the agreed works.
