Roof & Structural Serveys
At NVS Design and Build, we provide professional roof and structural surveys to help homeowners understand the condition of their property before carrying out repairs, renovations or structural alterations.
Our surveys can identify visible roof damage, deterioration and potential structural issues, giving you a clearer understanding of what needs attention and helping you make informed decisions about the next steps.
A roof survey is a detailed inspection of your roof to identify its condition and any areas that may require attention.
Our assessment can include:
* Roof condition: Checking tiles, slates, roof coverings, flashing and other visible components for damage or deterioration.
* Leaks and defects: Identifying visible signs of water ingress, broken or missing tiles and other potential problems.
* Roof structure: Looking for signs of movement, sagging, rot or other issues that could affect the roof’s stability.
* External inspection: Where appropriate, drone surveys can be used to inspect difficult-to-access areas safely from outside the property.
Following the survey, we can explain our findings and advise on any repairs, maintenance or further investigation that may be required.
A structural survey assesses the condition and stability of the main structural elements of a property. At NVS Design and Build, we help homeowners identify potential structural issues before carrying out building work, renovations or structural alterations.
Our assessment may look at:
* Structural movement: Signs of cracking, movement or settlement that could indicate an underlying issue.
* Roof and supporting structures: The condition of roof timbers, beams and other supporting elements where relevant.
* Walls and floors: Visible signs of movement, deterioration or damage that may affect the property’s structure.
* Alterations: Structural considerations relating to extensions, loft conversions, open-plan layouts or other proposed building work.
Where further investigation or specialist structural calculations are required, we can advise you on the appropriate next steps.
A roof and structural survey can give you greater confidence before committing to repairs, renovations or structural alterations.
At NVS Design and Build, our surveys can help you:
* Identify potential problems early before they become more costly to address.
* Understand the condition of your property and any areas that may require attention.
* Plan building work with greater confidence by identifying structural considerations before work begins.
* Make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance or proposed alterations.
* Understand the next steps if further investigation, repairs or structural calculations are recommended.
Whether you are planning an extension, loft conversion, renovation or simply want to understand the condition of your roof and structure, a professional survey can provide valuable information before work begins.
