What happens during a commercial roof survey?
The initial visit helps us understand the roof construction, visible defects, access requirements and how the building is used. We will discuss whether the roof is likely to need repair, maintenance, coating, over-cladding or replacement. Where specialist testing or a more detailed condition report is appropriate, this will be explained before any additional work is undertaken.
Step 1
Initial discussion
We review the information, photographs and documents you provide.
Step 2
Site visit
A member of the TRS team inspects the roof, access arrangements and visible defects.
Step 3
Recommended next step
We explain the realistic options and whether further investigation, budgeting or a formal proposal is required.
Roofs we survey
- Profiled metal and built-up roof systems
- Standing-seam metal roofs
- Flat and low-pitched roofs
- Reinforced bitumen and single-ply roofs
- Liquid-coated roofs
- Industrial gutters and rainwater systems
- Rooflights and fragile roof areas
- Asbestos cement roofs where refurbishment or over-cladding is being considered
The free initial visit is a roofing assessment. It is not an asbestos survey, a structural survey, a formal specification or a professional design service. See our commercial roof surveys page for what a fuller survey can include.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the initial commercial roof survey free?
- Yes. The initial TRS roof survey and site visit are free of charge. If specialist testing, intrusive investigation or a detailed condition report is recommended, this will be discussed and agreed separately.
- What types of commercial roofs does TRS survey?
- TRS surveys metal, flat, coated and over-clad roof systems, together with rooflights, gutters, outlets and associated roof details.
- Do I need to know the roof type or size?
- No. Provide whatever information you have. Photographs, drawings and previous reports are useful but are not required to submit a survey request.
- Can you survey a roof while the building remains occupied?
- Yes. TRS regularly works on operational factories, warehouses, schools, healthcare buildings and commercial properties. Access and survey arrangements are planned around the building's use.
- Does a roof survey provide a quotation?
- The initial survey helps establish the condition of the roof and the appropriate next step. Where the required works can be properly defined, TRS can then prepare a budget or quotation.
