A surveyor-led guide explaining flat roof defects in York, why membranes fail prematurely, how inspections identify the true cause and why repair without diagnosis often fails.
Category Archives: Roof Survey
A roof survey conducted by Strut Building Surveyors typically involves a comprehensive assessment of the condition and integrity of a building’s roof. The survey includes a detailed inspection of roofing materials, structure, drainage systems, and potential areas of wear or damage. Using both visual inspection and specialised tools, such as drones or infrared cameras, the surveyors identify any issues such as leaks, cracks, or deterioration.
The survey results in a report outlining the roof’s current condition, highlighting areas of concern, and providing recommendations for maintenance or repairs. This helps building owners and managers make informed decisions about necessary interventions, extending the roof’s lifespan, and ensuring its safety and performance.
Further, carrying out a roof survey may help inform future decisions about improvements to thermal efficiency and the potential to install retable technologies such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems.
