Roof Inspections in Corby, Northamptonshire
Most roofs in Corby are inspected from the pavement, if they are inspected at all. That tells you a tile looks dark from below and very little else. Our inspections use the drone to photograph every face of the roof at close range: the ridges, the verges, the valleys, the chimney, the roofline and the back of every slope you cannot see from a ladder.
What we find depends on the age of the street. The steelworks-era estates around Kingswood, Danesholme and Hazelwood are into the decades where concrete tiles crack, ridge mortar crumbles and underfelt ages out. The newer estates at Oakley Vale, Priors Hall Park and Little Stanion show different faults: rushed valley detailing, dry fix systems not fitted as designed. At Great Oakley and Stanion on the town's edge, older slate and tile roofs bring their own questions.
The inspection is free and the photographs are yours. If the roof is sound, you get the reassurance in writing. If work is needed, you see exactly which tiles, which joints and which slopes, and you decide what happens next with evidence rather than a stranger's opinion.
An inspection is also the right first step before selling, before solar panels, after a storm, or any time a neighbour's builder says your roof needs urgent attention and you would like a second view. Buyers may want our dedicated home buyer roof report instead.
Inspections for Every Reason
Condition inspections
The full picture of your roof's health: tile and slate condition, ridge and verge state, flashings, valleys and roofline, all photographed and explained.
Pre-sale inspections
Selling in Corby? Know what a buyer's survey will find before it does, and either fix it on your terms or price it into the sale.
Post-storm inspections
After high winds, inspect the roof even if nothing looks wrong from below. Lifted tiles and cracked slates often sit out of sight until the next rain.
Pre-solar inspections
Panels should not go on an ageing roof. We inspect structure-relevant condition first so you mount solar on a roof that will last as long as the panels.
Written summary
Every inspection comes with a plain-English summary of findings: what is sound, what to watch, and what, if anything, needs doing and when.
Second opinions
Quoted a full re-roof by someone else and want it checked? We inspect the same roof and tell you honestly whether a repair would do.
How Hiring Us Works
Call or WhatsApp
Tell us what is going on and where you are. Most surveys are booked within days, and emergencies are treated the same day where we possibly can.
Free drone survey
We fly the roof and photograph every face, ridge, valley and flashing. You get to see the pictures, not just hear a summary.
A quote built on what we saw
The price follows the photographs. You will know which tiles failed, why the leak happened, and what the options are, including the cheap one.
The work, and the paperwork
We complete the job, clear up properly, and on bigger projects we handle planning and building controls through to sign-off.
Why Corby Homeowners Book Our Inspections
Vetted and approved
We work to UK consumer protection laws and we are happy to be judged on the paperwork as much as the workmanship. Quotes are written, clear and itemised.
Insurance and buyer reports done properly
Storm claim, leak claim, or a house purchase you do not want to get wrong. We produce the detailed reports that decide these things, based on real evidence from the survey.
Red tape handled
Re-roofs and bigger alterations often touch planning rules and building controls. We manage both with the council so you never have to learn the jargon.
The drone goes up, always
It is the single biggest difference between us and a roofer quoting from the drive. Chimneys, ridges, valleys, flat roof edges and hard-to-reach slopes all get seen close up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. The drone survey and the written summary of findings are free and carry no obligation. We quote only if work is needed and you ask for a price.
How long does an inspection take?
Most Corby inspections are completed within an hour on site, weather permitting, with the photographs and summary sent to you shortly afterwards.
Can you inspect chimneys and flat roofs too?
Yes. Chimney stacks, flashings, flat roof edges and dormer cheeks are all part of the inspection, photographed at the same close range as the slopes.
Do inspections cover Kettering and surrounding towns?
Yes, inspections run across Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Oundle, Desborough, Thrapston, Rushden and Rothwell.
Are you vetted and approved roofers?
Yes. Roof Professionals UK is a vetted and approved roofing company, and we follow UK consumer protection laws on every job, from a single tile to a full re-roof.
