Choose us for Edinburgh roof survey?
We specialise in the city’s unique tenement stock and understand common issues like lead failure at skews, hidden valley gutters, shared chimney stacks and ageing flat roof overlays. Our approach is fast, minimally disruptive and ideal for pre-purchase due diligence—giving buyers leverage to negotiate or plan works confidently.
We cover all neighbourhoods, including Leith, New Town, Old Town, Marchmont, Morningside, Stockbridge and Portobello. Whether you’re assessing the top flat’s liability or a ground-floor buyer checking shared elements, our tenement roof inspection helps you avoid future surprises.
When to book a roof survey:
- • Before making an offer or during missives to validate roof condition
- • When a Home Report is silent or vague on roof elements
- • If you notice damp staining, ceiling cracks, or long-standing scaffolds nearby
- • For periodic checks on factor-managed blocks and owner associations

Incredibly smooth process! I phoned at 4pm on Thursday to enquire about a roofing survery which was arranged very quickly, carried out at 10.30am the next day, and received a detailed report by the end of the day - a total of 24 hours from beginning to end.

I was lucky to work with RIE while deciding on a home purchase and can only share positive feedback about their work ethic, communication, and eye for detail. Reports are both thorough and easy to read.
