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.
