Roof Surveys for Stoke-on-Trent Home Buyers
Stoke-on-Trent has one of the UK's most distinctive housing stocks — the Potteries towns of Burslem, Hanley, Longton, Fenton and Tunstall contain thousands of Victorian brick terraces with original clay tile roofs frequently coming to market for the first time in decades.
We also cover Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford. Our surveyors understand the specific construction methods and common defects found across the Potteries and wider North Staffordshire.

Common Stoke-on-Trent Roof Issues
Stoke-on-Trent's housing stock means certain defects appear repeatedly. Our surveyors know exactly what to look for.
Patched Rather Than Properly Assessed Roofs
Victorian clay-tiled roofs across the Potteries have frequently been patched rather than properly assessed over decades — masking deeper problems that only a specialist inspection can uncover.
Failed Flashings and Mixed Tile Types
Failed flashings, mixed tile types from multiple repair eras, and substandard repairs masking deeper problems are all common findings on Stoke-on-Trent's period terraces.
Substandard Repairs Masking Deeper Problems
Many Potteries properties have been maintained on a budget over the years, with substandard repairs that conceal underlying defects — a situation that requires specialist assessment before purchase.
