Roof Surveys

A well-timed roof survey can prevent minor concerns from developing into major problems, safeguarding the property’s value and the safety of those living or working there. Don’t wait for small issues to escalate - contact our team today.

Why Do I Need a Roof Survey?


Roof surveys are an important part of property maintenance for residential and commercial structures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it is time to get your roof checked:

  • Sagging roof

  • Water damage

  • Visible light from outside in your attic or loft

  • Damaged or missing tiles

  • Aged roofing

  • Buildup of moss or mould

  • Damaged flashing

  • Sitting water or debris on roof

Full View is dedicated to providing high-quality roof assessments across the country, tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring thorough inspections that allow property owners to make the most informed decisions. For simple structures, we offer hands-on traditional surveys, but for larger, more complex projects, we offer the option of a drone survey; bringing advanced technology to safely and efficiently cover harder-to-reach areas. Using drones can make it easier and quicker for our team to gather high-resolution images and detailed data!

What Do We Assess in a Roof Survey?

At Full View, we’re roofing experts, so we know exactly what to look for. However, we don’t offer repair services ourselves; therefore, we don’t have any interest in finding issues that simply don’t exist!

Our experienced team will assess the following during each survey:

  • Check icon

    Flashing: We’ll check its condition to ensure it is secure and not causing leaks.

  • Check icon

    Chimney Stacks: We’ll look at the quality of the brickwork, chimney pots, and flaunching.

  • Check icon

    Gutters and Drainage: We’ll assess any drainage defects or insecure guttering.

  • Check icon

    Damaged Tiles: We’ll highlight any cracked, worn, missing, or loose tiles.

  • Check icon

    Skylights: We’ll survey the condition and quality of skylights, in case leaks are likely.

  • Check icon

    Parapet Walls: We’ll evaluate the quality of pointing, rendering, and capping.

  • Check icon

    Fascias and Soffits: We’ll gauge the overall condition of these, highlighting any issues.

  • Check icon

    Roof Sagging: We’ll judge whether there are any signs of a weakened roof structure.

Types of Roof Surveys We Offer

At Full View, we offer two different survey techniques:

Traditional Roof Survey


A close-up, hands-on inspection method, where we will examine the roof’s condition directly.

Ideal for smaller properties or specific areas that require detailed, manual inspection to spot any subtle signs of wear or damage.

Drone Roof Survey


A modern solution that uses high-resolution imaging to assess large or complex roofs.

Perfect for extensive properties, this method is safer, faster, and more cost-effective, capturing detailed visuals of hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or ladders.

    - Trident Building Consultancy -
  • “We have worked with Full View for a number of years to undertake our drone survey work. Many of our projects at Mark Doodes Planning involve the use of CGI images to illustrate the impact of new development to show convincing “before and after” style images.

    Full View’s work is the foundation of this work with 4K photography. We have found Alex's team to be responsive to our sometimes demanding needs and always able to react quickly to new requirements ”

    - Mark Doode Planning -
  • “Alex arrived punctually and was very friendly and polite. After checking conditions in our attic and two areas of water ingress he began his thorough drone inspection externally.

    Following the inspection he took time to show me areas of concern. This was followed up with photos and full inspection report a few days later.

    Alex was professional throughout and I have no hesitation in recommending him if you need an independent roof inspection.”
