Our free winter roof checks help North East homeowners catch damage from snow, ice and cold weather before it turns into a leak.
Winter weather in the North East can put roofs under serious pressure. Snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and high winds can all cause hidden damage that is not always visible from the ground. Even if everything looks fine, small issues can develop quietly and turn into leaks or costly repairs if they are left unchecked.
That is why booking a free winter roof check is a sensible step after periods of snow or severe cold.
Why a free winter roof assessment matters
Snow and ice add weight to your roof and increase the risk of tiles shifting, cracking, or allowing water to work its way underneath. When temperatures rise and fall, melting snow can refreeze at roof edges, forcing moisture into vulnerable areas.
A professional roof assessment allows these problems to be identified early, before they cause damage inside your home. There is no obligation and no pressure, just clear advice on the condition of your roof.
What is checked during a free roof inspection
A winter roof assessment focuses on the areas most likely to suffer during cold weather, including:
Roof tiles or slates for cracks, movement, or missing sections
Flashings around chimneys, valleys, and joins
Signs of water ingress or damp caused by melting snow
Gutters and drainage for blockages or overflow risks
General wear that may worsen during the rest of winter
This type of check is particularly valuable for older roofs or properties exposed to harsh weather.
Who should book a free winter roof check
A free assessment is ideal if you have experienced heavy snow, ice, or strong winds, or if your roof has not been inspected in recent years. It is also recommended if you have noticed any early warning signs such as damp patches, dripping gutters, or loose tiles.
Even if no immediate repairs are needed, the reassurance of knowing your roof is sound can give real peace of mind.

We provide free, no obligation winter roof checks across the North East, with honest advice and clear explanations. Any issues found are discussed openly, along with practical options and straightforward pricing if work is required.

What our free winter roof checks cover
Snow and frost are hard on roofs. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and expands, and the damage often only shows up once it thaws. When we carry out a winter roof check, we look at:
- Slates and tiles for cracks, slipping and frost damage
- Ridges and verges for loose or missing mortar
- Lead flashing around chimneys, walls and roof windows
- Valleys, where snow and ice sit longest
- Flat roofs for splits, blisters and standing water
- The loft, where we can get in, for damp or daylight
We photograph anything that needs attention and, if work is needed, send you an itemised written quote, usually within 48 hours. There is no obligation to go ahead.
Before and during cold snaps, keep an eye on Met Office weather warnings for the North East. Read more about our roof maintenance and emergency roof repairs.
