What to do
- Photograph visible symptoms from the ground where safe.
- Note roof age, recent work and weather conditions.
- Ask for a written account of findings and priorities.
Put it into your brief
Bring together roof age if known, past work, visible defects and dates of leaks or storm damage. Keep your observations factual and leave roof access to a competent professional.
Make the comparison useful
Ask for a written record of findings with photographs where available. Separate urgent work from maintenance and any work that requires a closer investigation.
