If you are moving house or
considering a property purchase, the condition of the roof
will be an important consideration. Your surveyor will
usually comment on this in their report, but surveyors are
sometimes a little pessimistic and may not cover all the
details. I can look at the roof and give you a fair assessment,
I realise that some sceptics may say that it is in my
interest to find things wrong with a roof and so get some
work. All I can say is that there is no way I would ever do
that. I would always give my opinion on a roof as if
it were me that were buying the property. I can give a detailed quotation for
any work, but you can always go elsewhere for other quotes. If you are from outside Cornwall, you may not be
aware that the county has a few 'local peculiarities' in
terms of building construction. The pictures below are of
the rear of Russetts restaurant in St Ives. This one
elevation has a spiral curve, a mitred hip and a running
eave! This is not unusual for roofs from this part of
the world.
I would call and look at a
roof and let you know what I think, give an idea of cost etc
for free, I am usually out and about looking at things
anyway. If you needed an in depth report covering all
aspects of the roof, chimneys, insulation, cowls, guttering
etc, it usually means I have to make an appointment with an
estate agent and inspect the loft space etc, I usually make
a charge of around £80.00 + VAT for this type of visit and
report. Bargain! |
