What the roof inspection considers
A roofing decision is only as good as the information behind it. The inspection looks at the reported defect, nearby materials, likely water routes, roof age and the access needed to complete safe work.
- Natural slate condition and remaining life
- Nail fatigue and slipped slates
- Ridges, valleys and lead abutments
- Matching replacement slate options
A practical quote, not a vague allowance
The proposed scope should identify the roof area or defect, the materials to be used, access assumptions and what happens if hidden damage is uncovered. That makes it easier to compare the right things before work begins.
Roofing for Glasgow weather and property
Glasgow combines wind-driven rain with traditional slate, sandstone tenements, pitched suburban roofs and newer flat-roofed extensions. Details at chimneys, skews, valleys, outlets and shared roof junctions often matter as much as the main covering.
