What is a Roof Survey?
A roof survey is a professional inspection of a building’s roof designed to assess its current condition, structural integrity, and potential issues such as water ingress, material failure, or safety hazards. Depending on the type and size of the property, a roof survey may involve drone surveys, thermal imaging, or rope access inspections to provide a complete and accurate evaluation.
At Balmore Group, our roof surveys go beyond a simple visual check. We deliver a comprehensive analysis that includes high-resolution photography, infrared scanning, and detailed reporting, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, insurance claims, or property purchases.
A Roof Survey Typically Covers:
- General roof condition and lifespan
- Signs of wear, damage, or structural movement
- Evidence of roof leaks, damp, or water ingress
- Inspection of flashing, gutters, chimney stacks, and drainage
- Roofing material condition (slate, tile, metal, flat membrane, etc.)
- Thermal anomalies indicating insulation failure or heat loss
- Roof safety features and access points
Why does a Roof Survey Matter?
- Detect water ingress and active leaks
- Prevent costly repairs through early diagnosis
- Monitor ageing or damaged roofing systems
- Comply with insurance and health & safety obligations
- Plan maintenance and refurbishment with confidence
- Provide documentation for insurance or warranties
- Support property purchases or disputes with professional reporting
Whether you’re a homeowner or managing a multi-site commercial estate, our roof surveying services give you a clear, unbiased assessment of your roof’s health.

Advanced Roof Surveying Methods:
At Balmore Group, we combine decades of roofing knowledge with cutting-edge technology and safe access techniques. This ensures accurate results with minimal disruption, no matter the height, complexity, or type of structure.
Drone Roof Surveys:
Our aerial roof surveys use high-resolution drone technology to inspect rooftops from every angle. Ideal for surveying large or hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or cherry pickers, drones reduce inspection time, costs, and safety risks.
Perfect for:
- Historic buildings
- Warehouses and factories
- Multi-storey properties
- Urban and remote locations
Searching for a drone roof survey near me? We’re CAA-certified and fully insured to carry out UAV inspections throughout the UK.
Thermal Imaging Surveys:
Using thermal imaging, we can identify hidden issues like trapped moisture, missing insulation, or active leaks beneath roof surfaces. Our thermal imaging surveys provide clear temperature maps, highlighting problem areas invisible to the naked eye.
This is particularly useful for:
- Flat roof surveys
- Roof leak surveys
- Industrial roof surveys
- Commercial roof survey work
By identifying temperature anomalies, we can pinpoint exact trouble spots, helping you act before damage escalates.
Rope Access Roof Surveys:
For areas where drones may not be suitable, such as narrow gaps, confined spaces, or complex roof structures, our certified rope access team performs close-proximity roof inspections safely and efficiently.
As a leading rope access roof survey provider in Scotland, Balmore Group uses IRATA-qualified technicians who are trained to carry out detailed, hands-on inspections without the need for scaffolding or powered access.
Advantages of rope access surveys:
- Precise visual inspection of complex details
- Cost-effective alternative to scaffold towers
- Ideal for chimney stacks, spires, vents and tight corners
- No disruption to occupants or business operations
When combined with drone and thermal imaging, rope access gives the most complete assessment possible.
Our Roof Surveying Services Include:
- Independent roof surveys for homes and commercial buildings
- Storm damage & insurance claim inspections
- Drone & thermal imaging leak detection
- Rope access condition checks
- Roof structural surveys & safety assessments
- EPC-related thermal inspections
- Scheduled maintenance & dilapidation reports
- Industrial roof surveys for factories & distribution centres
- Full survey roofing documentation with high-resolution visuals
Looking for an independent roof surveyor near me? Unlike contractors, we offer unbiased, non-invasive inspections backed by clear, evidence-based reporting.
