Independent Roof Advice You Can Trust
Established in 2024, Assure Roof Surveys is a family-run, independent roof inspection business, built on almost 30 years of hands-on roofing experience within the Scottish roofing industry.
We provide homeowners, buyers and property professionals across Scotland with clear, practical and independent advice about the condition of their roofs – completely separate from the sale of roofing repairs or replacement work.
We inspect roofs. We don't sell roofing work.
Unlike roofing contractors, Assure has no commercial interest in finding repair or replacement work.
We don't carry out roof repairs, install new roofs, sell roofing products or receive commission for recommending contractors. We are completely independent.
Our role is simple: we inspect your roof, document what we find and explain it clearly.
Whether you're concerned about the condition of your roof, considering buying a property, have been quoted for substantial repairs, or want an independent assessment of recently completed roofing work, we'll help you understand what is actually happening with your roof and what, if anything, needs attention.
Why Assure?
We started Assure because we believe homeowners should be able to access experienced roof advice without the advice being linked to the sale of roofing work.
Our aim is to help homeowners make informed decisions, identify genuine roofing concerns and better understand the work being recommended to them.
Where concerns arise following recently completed roofing work, we can also provide an independent assessment of the visible condition and standard of the work, supported by photographic evidence.
No sales pitch. No roofing work to sell. Just clear, independent roof advice.
ASSURE SURVEY SERVICES
We offer a tailored range of survey and inspection services. Whether you require independent roof advice to help you understand what your roof needs to become water-tight, a comprehensive survey for conveyancing or insurance purposes or a professionally prepared independent report for contractor disputes, we have the right service for you.

HOW OUR SURVEYS WORK
STEP 1 :
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERNS
Before the inspection, we gather information from you about the property and the reason for the survey.
This might include concerns about the general condition of the roof, water ingress, recent or historic roofing work that concerns you, purchasing a property, or simply wanting independent reassurance about your roof.
STEP 2:
BESPOKE QUOTATION
We email you detailed information about our different survey options and a bespoke quote based on your specific needs and location.
You accept the quote and we schedule the survey.
step 3:
tHE survey
We undertake the roof survey using our comprehensive roof survey framework and capture photographic images.
Our experienced roof surveyor carries out a close visual inspection of the roof from ladder height. A drone may be used for areas where physical access may be restricted. We take photographs to record the roof's condition and any defects identified.
Depending on the property and survey selected, this may include:
-
Roof tiles or slates
-
Ridges, hips, verges and eaves
-
Valleys and roof junctions
-
Leadwork and flashings
-
Chimneys
-
Gutters and rainwater goods
-
Flat roofs and extensions
-
Dormers and roof windows
-
Fascias, soffits and other roofline components
-
Internal loft or attic inspection
Where specifically agreed in advance, an invasive roof survey will include opening up of targeted areas to help us assess concealed components such as roofing underlay, battens, sarking and fixings.
STEP 4:
REPORTING THE FINDINGS
Following your survey, we explain what we have found in straightforward language.
Where further investigation, maintenance or repair is considered necessary, this will be clearly identified.
Where included, our standard and enhanced professional reports with photographic evidence will be sent to you typically within 3-5 days.
