What this sheet is for
Spot roof problems early and, more usefully, see what has changed since the last inspection.
Who it is for
Homeowners doing a twice-yearly check, and buyers wanting a record before and after a purchase.
How to use it
- Do this from the ground with binoculars — roof work is genuinely dangerous.
- Work round the whole building, not just the front.
- Then check the same roof from inside the loft.
- Note what needs a professional rather than trying to fix it.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: A ground-level roof inspection you can do twice a year with a pair of binoculars, recorded so you can see what has changed since last time.
From the ground. Do this from the ground. Roof work is genuinely dangerous and it is not the job this sheet is asking you to take on — you are looking for what needs a professional, not fixing it.

Questions
Should I go up on the roof?
No. Almost everything on this sheet is visible from the ground with binoculars or from inside the loft, and working at height is genuinely dangerous — it is not what this sheet is asking you to take on.
