See your whole roof before you spend a penny on it.
Most roof problems cannot be seen from the pavement. Slipped tiles on the rear slope, split lead behind a chimney, cracked flaunching and blocked valleys only show up from above. An inspection puts the whole roof in front of you before you decide anything.
John uses a drone on tall and awkward roofs, so you see clear photos of every slope, the chimney, the lead and the gutters without anyone climbing a ladder first. Geoff P. wrote on Google that the use of the drone was constructive, and Caroline K. praised the modern up to date technology.
You get plain findings, the repairs that matter now, the ones that can wait, and a written price for each.

Geoff P.June 2026
Immediate response, drone survey
John at Imperial Roofers was so very helpful. An immediate response to my roof repair. We had slipped and potentially dangerous roof slates. John was easy to talk/explained the process and maintained telephone contact. The use of his drone was also constructive. I will definitely keep his details and use him again for any other roof project. Geoff P. 5D Architects Ltd .Read it on Google

Kept informed from start to finish
From start to finish, I was kept informed by John of the schedule and progress of what was going on. The work was carried out very efficiently and professionally and swiftly with no delays and very little inconvenience. I am extremely pleased with the end result and ready for the coming winter. I would definitely recommend Imperial Roofers Ltd to my family, friends and acquaintances. George (hayes)Read it on Google
Karen G.August 2026
The most reasonable of three quotes
John was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the job. His was the 2nd of 3 quotes I secured and was the most reasonable from the start. The other suppliers I met with were pushy, but John was professional and fair from the outset. The repairs were completed quickly and the team left the site in perfect condition.Read it on Google
Russell C.March 2026
Excellent communication, very high standard
From initial contact to the scaffolding coming down and final tidy up, the communication was excellent. I always knew what was going on. The work was carried out extremely quickly (I don’t think I’ve ever seen tradespeople work so quickly), but to a very high standard. The team were polite and helpful. I would highly recommend.Read it on Google

The team were professional, friendly, reliable and did a fantastic job. The quality of the workmanship was brilliant, and they clearly take pride in what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Imperial Roofers Ltd to anyone looking for a trustworthy roofing company.Read it on Google

Assessed on day one, fixed the next morning
John was very responsive from the start. He turned up on the day of our initial call to assess the job and was back the next morning with Nick to complete the repair. They were polite, punctual, professional, and got the job done right. Five stars!Read it on Google
Before you book
Straight answers about your roof
Do you use a drone?
Yes. The drone shows tall and awkward roofs safely, without anyone going up a ladder first.
Is the inspection free?
The site visit and quote are free. Ask John about a full written report when you call.
Will you tell me if nothing needs doing?
Yes. If the roof is sound, you are told so.
Can you inspect before I buy a house?
Yes. Tell us the address and when you need the findings.
Can a drone show whether hidden battens are rotten?
It records exposed surfaces. Timber concealed beneath the covering needs another means of investigation before its condition can be confirmed.
Should the loft be empty for an inspection?
Provide a clear, safe route to the accessible areas. Tell us about restricted sections before the visit is arranged.

Get findings you can act on
- Set the purpose. Explain whether you have a symptom to investigate or other work planned. That sets the inspection priorities.
- Share the history. Bring any previous roof paperwork and photographs of recurring marks. Changes over time help give current observations useful context.
- Identify viewing limits. Trees, adjoining buildings and inaccessible loft sections restrict what can be seen. Those limits belong alongside the findings.
- Connect the observations. An exterior defect and an indoor mark need to be considered together. A photograph alone does not establish every concealed cause.
- Choose the next step. Choose between maintenance, further investigation and repair. Identify uncertainties that need resolving before specifying work.
Inspection priorities for your property
- Targeted leak assessment. Start with the affected room and relevant roof sections. This suits a defined symptom that needs explanation before repair.
- Whole-roof review. Consider how all slopes and additions connect. This helps you plan maintenance across a house with several different roof forms.
- Drone photography. Overhead images offer another viewing angle on exposed surfaces. Weather, obstacles and flight restrictions determine whether drone use is suitable.
- Loft assessment. Accessible internal observations add context to the outside view. Stored belongings and boarded areas limit the timber and underlay visible.
How long roof inspections takes
Inspection time depends on roof complexity, the reason for the visit and the areas available to view. Reviewing photographs and preparing findings happens beyond the initial look around. A restricted view or unsuitable flying conditions can require another approach before the assessment is complete.
What affects the price of roof inspections
- Extent of the requested assessment
- Access to roof and loft areas
- Level of written reporting needed
- Further investigation of concealed defects
Discuss reporting requirements during the free survey, and request a written quote for any additional investigation or remedial work. Book your free site visit.
After your roof inspections
Keep the findings with dated photographs and previous roofing paperwork. Address the priority items before planning cosmetic work below a suspect roof section. Revisit the record after severe weather or building alterations, since an inspection describes the condition visible at a particular point.
