Roof Surveys for Dundee Home Buyers
Dundee has a mix of Victorian sandstone tenements, post-war housing, and modern waterfront developments. Each era presents its own roofing challenges that require specialist knowledge to assess properly.
Sandstone properties present specific challenges — moisture tracking is complex and roof-to-wall junctions require careful assessment. Our surveyors understand the unique construction methods used across Dundee's diverse housing stock.

Common Dundee Roof Issues
Dundee's housing stock means certain defects appear repeatedly. Our surveyors know exactly what to look for.
Wind Exposure from the Tay Estuary
Significant wind exposure from the Tay estuary accelerates tile and slate movement, particularly on exposed waterfront and hillside properties.
Failed Soakers and Displaced Ridge Tiles
Failed soakers, displaced ridge tiles and deteriorated lead valleys are frequently found on Dundee's older properties — often the result of decades of wind exposure.
Deteriorated Lead Valleys
Lead valleys on sandstone tenement and period properties regularly degrade over time, creating concentrated water ingress points that are difficult to detect without specialist inspection.
