More mortgage lenders are now insisting on a specialist roof survey before approving a loan — and with good reason. A professional roof inspection can identify costly problems long before purchase, protecting both you and your investment.

North West Roof Surveys provides fully independent roof inspections for any property across the North West. Each Roof Survey / Inspection Report is produced to the standard required by mortgage lenders and surveyors, giving you the evidence and reassurance you need to proceed with confidence.

Our surveys assess all key elements listed in a Homebuyer’s Report, including the condition of tiles or slates, chimney stacks, fascia boards, gutters, flashings, and roof windows. We use high-resolution photography — and drone technology where appropriate — to ensure nothing is missed.

Prices start from £350, depending on the property size, location and any additional access requirements (such as key collection and return). You’ll receive your detailed report by email within 24 hours of invoice payment. We send the invoice the morning after inspection and release the report by close of business the next working day once payment is received.

For more information or to book your survey, call us on 01625 360 306 (Cheshire, Greater Manchester, South Lancashire & Merseyside) or 01539 260 060 (North Lancashire & Cumbria), or email info@nw-rs.co.uk.
