Question 1

What's included in a roof access visit?

Accepted Answer

A typical roof access visit includes a condition survey or inspection, followed by any agreed repairs such as leadwork roofing fixes, roof guttering clearance, or tile repairs. We use rope access to reach the roof safely, which means visits can usually be arranged and completed faster than scaffolding-based work. You'll get a photo report afterwards showing what was found and what was done.

Question 2

Do you offer ongoing roofing maintenance contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many commercial clients set up a roofing maintenance contract with us involving regular scheduled visits. This kind of roof maintenance catches small issues — like a failing gutter or a loose tile — before they turn into bigger, more expensive repairs. We can tailor the visit frequency to your building and budget.

Question 3

Can you repair leadwork roofing without replacing the whole roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes, leadwork roofing repairs are one of the most common jobs we carry out through roof access, and in most cases it's a targeted repair rather than a full re-roof. We assess the condition during the initial visit and only recommend more extensive work if it's genuinely needed.

Question 4

How often should roof guttering be cleared and inspected?

Accepted Answer

For most commercial buildings, we'd recommend roof guttering is checked at least once or twice a year, more often if the building is near trees or in an area prone to debris build-up. Blocked guttering is one of the most common causes of water damage, so regular checks as part of a maintenance visit are usually cheaper than dealing with the damage afterwards.

Question 5

When does a roof access job turn into a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

If a survey during a roof access visit shows widespread damage, structural issues, or a roof nearing the end of its life, we'll flag that a full commercial roof replacement is likely the better option and explain why. We'll never push a bigger job than necessary — the recommendation is based on what the roof actually needs.

Question 6

Do you provide emergency roof access after storm damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we prioritise emergency callouts where storm damage has caused an immediate risk, such as missing tiles or exposed leadwork. Rope access lets us respond and make the roof safe quickly, without waiting for scaffolding to be erected first.
