Roof Surveys & Insurance Claims
we know that few things can be as stressful and uncertain as extreme weather conditions damaging your roof. Aside from roof damage and potential harm to the house’s interior, the experience can be a trying period, Amidst all of this, trying to make an insurance claim can be a serious source of extra stress. Insurance companies tend to ask for reports, quotes and a ton of paperwork before they agree to sign off on your claim – and it’s a worry you can well do without.
Alongside our roof surveys for new buyers, we also provide comprehensive survey and repair work for insurance companies working on behalf of their clients. If you have insured yourself against storm damage and other associated events outside of your control, we will work with your insurance company to carry out any necessary repairs or structural improvements.
Insurance Work
It is becoming increasingly popular for most mortgage lenders to insist that potential borrowers instruct an established experienced roofing contractor to inspect the roof of a property they are considering buying. Alpha Roofing Kendal will carry out an independent Roof Survey / Inspection on any property situated in Kendal or South Lakes prior to purchase, the details of this Survey / Inspection will be presented in the form of a professional Roof Report to a standard / format required by a Mortgage Company / Lender etc.
Your roof survey will tell you the following:
- Roof Age – overall condition – possible weak areas and probable leaks.
- Ridge Tiles – mortar condition – ridge iron check – ridge tile condition.
- Gutters – type – life expectancy – problems or blockages – damage or cracks – leaking joints or unions.
- Valleys & Gulleys – stress areas – life span – poor repairs – mortar condition if applicable.
- Chimneys – brickwork and mortar condition – loose chimney pots – flashings type and condition.
- Firewalls - condition of flashing and seals - condition of brickwork.
- Flat Roofs – flat roof survey condition – roof covering and type with an estimated life expectancy.
- Roof Windows & Skylights – Type of install and quality – flashing – integrity of the glass.
- Dormer Roofs – Type of covering – flashing condition and life expectancy.
- Roof Structure – external and internal checks – roof sag – spread – condensation issues – ventilation.
Survey Work
By having a comprehensive roof survey carried out before you purchase a property, not only are you safe in the knowledge that all problem areas or potential issues are identified, you are also in a position to pull out of the purchase and save yourself huge sums of money and additional stress should the potential repair costs be far more than any money saved on the property itself.
Survey Costs
| Survey prices are subject to amount of content / size of property and the distance we have to travel to the property, if we need to collect and return keys to the estate agent additional costs will be incurred. | Prices starting at £150.00 +VAT |
