Expert Roof & Building Inspection Services in Edinburgh
Each building inspection covers all major elements of your property. We examine:
Roofs – slates, tiles, flat systems, lead flashings, and skews
Chimneys – stonework, flaunching, and lead aprons
Masonry – brickwork, sandstone, render, and mortar condition
Guttering & Drainage – alignment, leaks, and blockages
Windows – frames, seals, and glazing integrity
Timbers – evidence of damp, rot, or insect activity
Instead of simply handing over a checklist, we provide a detailed written report with photos, giving you a clear overview of current conditions and recommendations for repair or ongoing maintenance.
Our inspections stand out because our rope access technicians are not just trained in height safety—they are also qualified roofers, joiners, and stonemasons. This combination ensures your inspection is carried out by professionals who understand both how to access the building and how to identify issues accurately.
Rope access has clear advantages: it avoids the expense of scaffolding, allows urgent checks to be carried out quickly, and causes minimal disruption to tenants or businesses. Because of our dual expertise, we can often carry out small remedial tasks—such as securing a loose slate or clearing a blocked downpipe—during the same visit.

Every inspection is carried out under strict ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 standards, ensuring both safety and quality.
