Roofing Consultancy & Reports Birmingham
If you're responsible for a property portfolio, a commercial building or a development project in Birmingham, a quick look at the roof from the ground floor isn't going to cut it. Our roofing consultancy and reports service is built for landlords, letting agents, facilities managers, developers and architects who need a proper, documented assessment of a roof's condition, backed by clear findings, photos and honest recommendations. We've been doing this across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands for 18 years, and our reports are written to be genuinely useful, not just paperwork for the sake of it.
This isn't about upselling you a new roof. It's about giving you the information you need to plan maintenance budgets, support a property transaction, or back up an insurance claim, with no pressure and no jargon. Just an honest, professional assessment from a team of 15 experienced roofers who know Birmingham's roofs inside out.

What our roofing consultancy & reports service includes
- Detailed, written condition reports covering the full roof structure, coverings, flashings, guttering and any visible defects
- Clear photographic evidence to accompany every finding, so you can see exactly what we saw
- Recommended action and priority levels for each issue identified, helping you decide what needs doing now and what can wait
- Roofing condition reports to support insurance claims, setting out our assessment of the damage and likely cause (this supports your claim, it doesn't replace a loss adjuster's report)
- Portfolio-wide reporting for landlords and letting agents managing multiple properties, with consistent formatting across each report
- Roofing input during design and planning stages for developers and architects, including feasibility comments on existing structures
- Repair and maintenance specifications that can be used to plan budgets or go out to tender
- Follow-up advice by phone or email if you have questions once you've read the report
Who this service is for
This service is aimed at property professionals rather than individual homeowners. It's a good fit if you're:
- A landlord or letting agent needing condition reports across a portfolio of rental properties
- A commercial property owner or facilities manager planning maintenance budgets or capital works
- A developer or architect who needs roofing input during the design or planning stages of a project
- A business or property owner who needs a roofing condition report to support an insurance claim
- Anyone who needs a detailed, document-led assessment rather than a quick once-over
If you're a homeowner simply wanting a quick health check before buying a house, before winter, or after a storm, our Roof Surveys & Inspections service is likely the simpler, more suitable option. That page covers straightforward, homeowner-facing inspections. This consultancy service is a deeper, more formal offering, designed for professional and commercial purposes.
Our process
Initial conversation.
We talk through what you need the report for, whether that's planning a maintenance budget, supporting a transaction, or backing up an insurance claim, so we can scope the work properly.
Site visit.
One of our experienced roofers visits the property (or properties) at a time that works for you, carrying out a thorough visual and, where safe and appropriate, close-up inspection.
Assessment and documentation.
We record findings in detail, take clear photographs of any issues, and note the condition of the structure, coverings, flashings and drainage.
Report drafting.
We put together a clear, written report with our findings, photos, and recommended action and priority levels, written in plain English rather than technical jargon.
Delivery and discussion.
We send you the finished report and are happy to talk through anything in it, whether that's over the phone or by email.
Ongoing support.
If the report leads to repair or maintenance work, we can quote for that separately, with no pressure to go ahead.
Why choose Midlands Roofing for roofing consultancy and reports in Birmingham
Roofing has a reputation for cowboy builders, vague quotes and reports that raise more questions than they answer. We've built our business the opposite way. We're a family-run company, trading in Birmingham and the West Midlands for 18 years, with a team of 15 experienced roofers and no subcontractors, so the people assessing your roof are the same people who'd carry out any repairs. We're fully insured, our workmanship is backed by a warranty of up to 20 years depending on the material and scope of the job, and every report and quote is honest and straightforward, with no jargon and no hard sell.
We understand that property professionals need reports they can actually use, whether that's for a board meeting, a mortgage lender, a maintenance schedule or an insurance claim. Our reports are written with that in mind: clear, evidenced, and practical.
What affects the cost
Every property and every reporting need is different, so we always provide a free, no-obligation quote before starting any work. Factors that typically affect the cost include:
- The size and complexity of the roof or roofs being assessed
- The number of properties involved, particularly for landlord portfolios
- The level of access required, including scaffolding or cherry pickers for detailed close-up inspection
- The depth and purpose of the report, for example a simple condition report versus a full repair and maintenance specification
- How urgently the report is needed
- Whether follow-up visits or ongoing portfolio reporting are required
Get in touch and we'll talk through exactly what you need, then give you a clear, honest price with nothing hidden in the small print.

FAQs
A RICS chartered building survey is carried out by a formally accredited chartered surveyor and covers the whole building, often for legal, mortgage or insurance purposes that specifically require chartered status. Our roofing consultancy and reports service is different: it's an expert, experienced roofing assessment carried out by our own roofers, focused specifically on the roof, and designed for practical purposes like maintenance planning, landlord portfolios, commercial property management and supporting insurance claims. If you need a formal RICS survey, we're happy to say so honestly, and you'd need a separate chartered surveyor for that.

Our roofing condition reports can support an insurance claim by setting out our professional assessment of the damage and its likely cause, along with photographic evidence. They're designed to support your claim rather than replace a loss adjuster's own report.
Yes, we regularly provide roofing input for developers and architects during the design and planning stages, including comments on the condition and feasibility of existing roof structures.
This depends on the size and complexity of the property or portfolio, but we'll always give you a clear timescale upfront so you know what to expect.
Not at all. While much of our consultancy work is for landlords, developers and commercial property owners, we tailor every report to the scope of the job, whether that's a single rental property or a large commercial portfolio.
