GMRC PARTNERSHIP
Our Services
Roofing consultancy solutions delivered by industry-recognised experts.
Pre-Purchase Roofing Surveys
Our comprehensive Pre-Purchase Roofing Surveys provide detailed insight into roof conditions before property purchase. Unlike standard Home Reports, our thorough inspections are conducted by qualified professionals with decades of experience. We assess all roofing components—slates, tiles, flashings, valleys, ridges, and chimney stacks—identifying current defects, future issues, and estimating remaining roof lifespan.
Your Roof Report includes photographic evidence, clear repair recommendations, and cost estimates, serving as a powerful negotiation tool that can save thousands. These surveys are especially valuable for older properties, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas throughout Scotland, where roof repairs require specialist knowledge and can be particularly costly.
Resolving Contentious Issues
When roofing disputes arise between property owners, contractors, or insurers, our impartial assessments provide clarity and resolution. We address disagreements regarding workmanship quality, material specifications, building regulation compliance, and disputed quotations. With extensive experience as expert witnesses in legal proceedings, we provide objective evaluations that help parties reach fair conclusions.
Each assessment is conducted by a certified professional with comprehensive knowledge of Scottish building standards and roofing techniques. Our detailed reports include supporting evidence, reference to industry standards, and clear resolution recommendations. This service is particularly valuable for landlords, property managers, and homeowners facing contractor disputes. Our reputation for impartiality makes GMRC Partnership the trusted choice across Scotland.
Slating, Tiling & Flat Roofing
Our professional roof assessments help property owners understand the condition and lifespan of their roofing assets. Whether planning maintenance budgets or addressing specific concerns, our evaluations provide information for informed decisions. Our specialists have expertise with all roofing types common in Scotland, including traditional Scots slate, Burlington slate, Welsh slate, clay tiles, concrete tiles, and flat roofing membranes.
We thoroughly examine roof coverings, underlying structures, insulation, ventilation, and drainage systems to identify existing and potential defects. For historical properties, we offer specialised guidance on conservation-appropriate materials and techniques. Our reports include prioritised recommendations with estimated costs, helping develop effective maintenance plans that prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, saving significant expense over time.
Roofing Heritage & Conservation
Our Heritage & Conservation service provides specialist consultancy for Scotland’s historic buildings, listed properties, and conservation areas. Drawing on decades of experience with traditional materials and methods, we help preserve architectural integrity while ensuring structures remain weathertight. Our expertise covers traditional Scottish roofing techniques including random slate, diminishing courses, sandstone ridges, lead work, and ornamental features common in period architecture.
We collaborate with conservation officers, architects, and craftspeople to develop sensitive repair strategies that comply with heritage requirements while providing practical solutions. Services include historical research, sourcing of traditional materials, specification writing, contractor selection, and quality control. Having advised on numerous significant historic buildings throughout Scotland, our commitment ensures important architectural features endure for future generations.
HELPING PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM
Rogue Traders
Rogue traders operate throughout Scotland, offering unnecessary roofing repairs or delivering substandard workmanship to defraud unsuspecting property owners. These unlicensed, unqualified individuals frequently target vulnerable people, particularly elderly homeowners, causing financial harm and potentially dangerous roofing conditions.
GMRC Partnership actively collaborates with Scottish local authorities to combat this serious issue. Through our involvement, we support efforts to raise awareness about roofing fraud and help maintain professional standards within the industry.
