Professional roof surveying team

About My Roof Surveyor

Your trusted independent roof surveyor providing professional roof inspection services across the North West for over 15 years

Our Story - Independent Roof Survey Specialists

Built on expertise, driven by quality

My Roof Surveyor was founded in 2011 with a simple mission: to provide homebuyers, property owners, and commercial clients with fully independent and unbiased roof inspections they can trust. We saw too many property owners making expensive mistakes because they didn't get a proper roof survey before buying or maintaining their properties.

Over the past 15 years, we've completed more than 2,500 roof surveys across the North West, helping our clients save hundreds of thousands of pounds by identifying roof problems early. From small terraced houses in Manchester to large industrial buildings in Liverpool, our specialist roof surveyors have seen it all.

What makes us different? We're a truly independent roof inspection company. We have no ties to roofing contractors or roofing companies, which means our only priority is giving you honest, unbiased advice about the condition of your roof. We use the latest technology including drone roof surveys, thermal imaging, and electronic leak detection to provide the most thorough roof inspections available.

Today, My Roof Surveyor is the North West's leading provider of professional roof surveys. Our team of qualified surveyors combines traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver detailed condition reports that give you complete peace of mind about your property's roof.

Why Property Owners Choose My Roof Surveyor

What sets us apart from other roof inspection companies

Truly Independent Assessment

Unlike roofers who offer "free surveys" hoping to win repair work, or surveyors tied to roofing companies, we provide completely independent advice. We only do roof surveys - we don't carry out repairs. This means you get an honest, unbiased assessment you can trust.

Advanced Technology

We've invested heavily in the latest inspection equipment. Our drone roof surveys capture incredible detail without safety risks. Our thermal imaging cameras spot problems invisible to the naked eye. Our electronic leak detection finds water ingress other surveyors miss. This technology, combined with our expertise, delivers the most thorough roof inspections available.

Comprehensive Reporting

Our detailed condition reports don't just list problems - they explain them in plain English with high-resolution photos and 3D models. We include estimated repair costs and practical advice, so you understand exactly what needs doing and why. Many clients use our reports to negotiate thousands off property prices.

Fast Turnaround

We know property transactions move quickly. That's why we deliver most roof survey reports within 48 hours. Need it faster? We offer expedited service for urgent cases like insurance claims or tight completion deadlines. You'll never miss a deadline because you're waiting for our report.

Cost-Effective Investment

A professional roof survey might seem expensive until you compare it to the cost of unexpected roof repairs. Our clients regularly save thousands by discovering issues before purchase or catching problems early. One recent client in Manchester saved £8,000 in roof replacement costs by identifying water damage during their house purchase survey.

Local North West Knowledge

We've spent 15 years inspecting roofs across the North West. We understand local weather challenges, from Liverpool's coastal winds to Manchester's heavy rainfall. We know the common issues with Victorian terraces in Bolton, 1930s semis in Preston, and modern developments in Chester. This local expertise ensures we spot problems other surveyors might miss.
