Should you have a roof survey done on your industrial or commercial premises?

A roof survey gives you a list of the issues your roof is facing, set out in a defects report. Your roofing surveyor should also recommend the best options for putting those defects right.

If you own the building

A roof survey can help you avoid potentially disastrous events such as a collapsed roof, leaks and the water damage that follows. By making you aware of problems and giving you a solution, a survey is an invaluable way to prevent further damage.

If you are thinking of buying

A survey makes sure you know about any issues with the roof before you purchase. If there are problems you may decide not to buy, ask for them to be fixed first, or ask for a reduction in price to reflect the cost of repairs. Whatever you decide, you avoid nasty surprises.

Before roof work starts

Before any roof work begins on your commercial or industrial premises, it can be useful to have a survey that includes a Schedule of Condition of Adjoining Properties. This factual record of a neighbouring property's condition acts as a benchmark, so if a neighbour later claims the work caused defects, you have the evidence to show whether it did.

Why independent matters

An independent roof survey is completely unbiased. A contractor's survey may, in some cases, recommend work for profit rather than for your actual requirements. Eurotech Roofing offers fully independent, unbiased surveys for commercial and industrial roofs, on your existing roofs or roofs you are considering buying, with only you, the customer, in mind.
