Overview

## See your roof the way a roofer does

Most homeowners never see their own roof up close. A roof inspection changes that: Travis checks the coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimney, gutters and, where accessible, the loft, then shows you photos of what he finds.

Inspections are free for homeowners. They are useful if you&#x27;ve noticed a leak or damp patch, after a storm, if tiles or moss are visible from the ground, or simply if you want peace of mind about an older roof.

If you don&#x27;t yet own the property (for example, you want a pre-purchase inspection), there is a charge, which we confirm before visiting.

The risk of waiting

## Why an inspection saves money
Most expensive roof jobs started as small, cheap problems that nobody spotted.

### Hidden leaks
Water can track through felt and timber for months before it shows inside.

### Storm damage unnoticed
A single slipped tile can let in water all winter.

### Worn flashings
Lead and mortar around chimneys deteriorate out of sight.

### Blocked gutters and valleys
Debris causes overflow and damp walls.

### Surprise survey findings
Roof issues raised during a sale can delay or reduce offers.

### Common mistakes homeowners make

- Judging a roof&#x27;s condition from the ground.
- Only getting a roof looked at once water is coming through the ceiling.
- Accepting a quote without seeing evidence of the problem.

Warning signs

## Signs you need roof inspections

- You&#x27;ve noticed a damp patch but can&#x27;t see the cause
- There&#x27;s been a storm and you&#x27;re not sure if the roof was damaged
- Moss, slipped tiles or debris are visible from the ground
- Your roof is older and hasn&#x27;t been checked in years
- You&#x27;re selling and want to know about issues before a survey
- You&#x27;ve had conflicting quotes and want an honest second opinion

Pricing

## What affects the price
We don&#x27;t publish prices because every roof is different. After a free inspection you get one fixed price. These are the things that shape it.

### Homeowners
Roof inspections are free for homeowners.

### Pre-purchase
If you don&#x27;t yet own the property, there is a charge, which we confirm before visiting.

### Access
Most inspections are carried out from ladders and the loft without extra equipment.

### No obligation
You are under no obligation to go ahead with any work we recommend.

In detail

## What a roof inspection covers
A thorough inspection looks at every part of the roof system, not just the tiles.

“Very satisfied.”James V · BA14 · Checkatrade

### Roof coverings
Tiles and slates are checked for cracks, slippage, porosity and failed fixings, along with signs of age such as spalling or delamination.

### Ridges, hips and verges
Mortar condition and fixings are checked on the most exposed parts of the roof, which are the first to fail in high winds.

### Valleys, flashings and chimneys
Junctions are where most leaks start. We check lead valleys, flashings, soakers and back gutters, plus chimney pointing, flaunching and pots.

### Gutters and roofline
Gutters are checked for blockages, falls and leaks, and fascias and soffits for rot or damage.

### Loft space
Where accessible, we look for daylight, damp staining, condensation, felt condition and timber health: the clearest indicators of how the roof is performing.

Why homeowners choose Travis

## Why choose TB Roofing and Property Maintenance for roof inspections

### You deal with the roofer, not a salesman
When you call about roof inspections, you speak to Travis. He inspects the roof, prices the work and carries it out himself, bringing in trusted labourers only on larger jobs. There&#x27;s no handover between a surveyor, an office and a crew, so nothing gets lost along the way.

### Evidence before every decision
You see photos of the problem before you&#x27;re asked to spend anything. If extra work turns up once the job starts, you&#x27;re shown the evidence and the options before anything changes. One customer put it simply: he kept them informed of any extra work needed, with evidence.

### A fixed price, not a day rate
Every roof inspections job is quoted at a fixed price after a free inspection. You know the full cost up front, and it doesn&#x27;t creep up if the job takes longer than expected. Travis prefers not to publish prices online, because guessing without seeing the roof helps nobody.

### Reviewed, insured and accountable
TB Roofing and Property Maintenance is a Checkatrade member rated 9.96/10 by verified customers, with £1 million public liability insurance. Work is guaranteed, and the terms for your job are confirmed in writing with the quote. Reviews regularly mention turning up on time, working tidily and finishing on budget.

Local knowledge

## Roof Inspections across Glastonbury &amp; Somerset

With so many older properties across Glastonbury, Street, Wells and Shepton Mallet, many roofs are well past their original lifespan. A free inspection is the easiest way to find out whether yours needs attention now or can safely wait.

Checkatrade customers who had roof inspections with us gave consistently strong feedback, and many mention having everything shown and explained to them.

An inspection is also the best starting point if you are planning other work on the house. Knowing the condition of the roof, chimney and gutters before you fit solar panels, insulate the loft or redecorate upstairs means you won&#x27;t have to undo good work later to fix a roof problem nobody noticed.

We look at the whole roof, not just the problem you called about. If something else is starting to fail (a ridge, a valley, a gutter), you&#x27;ll hear about it now, while it&#x27;s still a small job.

Every job is handled by Travis Biddle personally, with 10 years in the trade, £1 million public liability insurance and a 9.96/10 Checkatrade rating. You get a fixed price after a free inspection, photo evidence of any problem, and nothing added without your agreement.
