Roof Surveys
Professional roof surveys across Leeds
A roof survey can help you understand the condition of a roof before deciding what, if anything, needs to be done. It can be useful when you have noticed a problem, want a clearer assessment of an ageing roof or need more information before making a property decision.
Our roofing team inspects the visible condition of the roof and looks for defects that could contribute to leaks, deterioration or future maintenance issues. Where parts of the roof are difficult to assess conventionally, we can also use specialist access or drone technology where appropriate.
The aim is to give you useful information about the roof and a clearer understanding of any next steps, rather than recommending work that is not needed.

- Experienced roofing assessment

What We Inspect
What can a roof survey help identify?
The exact inspection depends on the property and survey required, but common roofing defects and areas of concern can include:
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
- Damaged or deteriorating roof coverings
- Failed flashing around chimneys and roof junctions
- Ridge, verge and pointing defects
- Valley and gully problems
- Flat roof deterioration
- Visible guttering and roofline defects
- Chimney-related roofing problems
- Signs of water ingress
- Areas that may need closer investigation or repair
Some roof problems are straightforward to identify, while others need closer inspection or additional evidence. Where useful, specialist access or drone inspection can help us investigate difficult-to-see areas.

Pricing
How much does a roof survey cost in Leeds?
The cost of a roof survey depends on the type of property, the level of inspection required, access and whether more specialist investigation is needed.
As a guide, a domestic roof survey is around £250, while a commercial roof survey is around £500. More specialist thermal roof surveys are around £900.
The right survey depends on what you need to understand about the roof. We will explain the appropriate option before arranging the inspection.
When to Get a Survey
When is a roof survey worth considering?
You do not need to wait for a serious leak before having a roof checked. A survey can be useful whenever you need more confidence about the condition of the roof.
- You are buying or considering buying a property
- You have recurring leaks but the cause is unclear
- The roof is ageing and you want to understand its condition
- You have noticed visible deterioration or storm damage
- You are planning roofing work and need a clearer assessment first
- You want to identify maintenance issues before they become more serious
- Parts of the roof are difficult to inspect safely from conventional access
The survey should match the reason for the inspection. If aerial inspection would provide a better view of the roof, we can recommend the dedicated Drone Roof Inspection service.

FAQs
Roof survey questions answered
How much does a roof survey cost in Leeds?
A domestic roof survey is around £250 as a guide. Commercial roof surveys are around £500, while more specialist thermal roof surveys are around £900.
What does a roof survey look for?
A roof survey can identify visible defects such as slipped or damaged tiles and slates, failed flashing, ridge and valley problems, flat roof deterioration, chimney-related issues and other signs of wear or water ingress.
Can I have a roof survey before buying a house?
Yes. A roof survey can provide additional information about the condition of the roof before a property purchase, particularly where you want a more roofing-specific assessment.
Do you use drones during roof surveys?
Where useful, yes. Drone technology can help us inspect difficult or inaccessible areas, but the main purpose of this service is to assess the overall condition of the roof. We also provide a dedicated Drone Roof Inspection service for customers who specifically need aerial inspection.
Do you provide a roof survey report?
Yes. DPR provides roof survey and report services. The format and level of detail will depend on the type of survey being carried out.
Do you need scaffolding to survey a roof?
Not always. Depending on the property and type of survey, we may be able to use specialist access equipment or drone technology rather than full scaffolding for the inspection stage.
What happens if the survey finds a problem?
We will explain what has been identified and the practical next steps. Depending on the issue, that may mean monitoring, maintenance, a localised repair or more extensive roofing work.
Is a roof survey the same as a drone roof inspection?
Not exactly. A roof survey is a broader assessment of roof condition. A drone roof inspection is a specialist aerial inspection method used to gather detailed imagery from difficult-to-see areas.
