Measured Roofing Survey
In addition to carrying out Roofing Inspections at roof level we can also carry out a full a Measured Roof Survey at the same time. Or return to site if requested by our client after receiving our Roofing Condition Report.
What will a Measured Roofing Survey provide?
We physically measure all dimensions of a roof area and heights of buildings using tape measures, measuring wheels and laser measures. Dimensions will include:
-
Roof pitch
-
Flat roof upstand heights & other crucial details
-
Rainwater outlet & soil vent pipe diameters
-
Rainwater Gutters & Downpipes
-
Fascia, Soffit & Barge Boards
-
Parapet Gutters and wall heights
-
Copings
-
Pitched Valleys
-
Chimneys & other penetrations.
-
Structural timbers (if accessible)
-
We will also measure sizes of existing natural roof slates if fit for reuse.
Using all the above information we will create a Bill of Quantities or Schedule of Works ready for pricing by your chosen roofing contractor.
