A clear plan for your building
For a Bradford house or residential conversion, identify which part of the roof is affected. A later flat-roofed addition may drain separately from the main slope, and a leak can follow a concealed gutter rather than the covering directly above the room. Tell us whether the owner or a managing agent arranges external repairs.
Finding the cause
For a converted building, ask whether the leak involves a main roof, a later flat-roofed addition or a concealed gutter. The survey should set out the repair boundary and explain any access restrictions or adjoining details that affect the price.
Planning your roofing work
State the height of the building, access contact and whether entrances or shared courtyards must remain usable. Discuss any commercial work separately; it is not assumed from the building’s past use.
What belongs in your quote
A clear quote sets out the materials, access and waste removal, as well as the repair itself. It should also explain what happens if opening the roof reveals further damage, so you know how any extra work will be agreed.
