Inspect the hidden support before promising the full repair
On a Glasgow slate roof, sarking means the timber boards beneath the covering. A top-floor leak can wet these boards without revealing the extent from the street. We assess accessible condition and explain whether slate must be lifted to inspect the affected support and the roofing fault above it.
Shared buildings need an appointed contact and authority for opening and repairs. The proposal separates local boarding or limited timber work from structural questions requiring another specialist. For an individual house, the same distinction applies without a communal approval process. We do not present hidden layers as fully inspected when roof height or loft access prevents a close view.
Know what will be opened and put back
Send your postcode, building type, leak history and safe internal photographs. Include factor details for shared work and any previous report. The quote identifies access, the area to open, expected support repairs and how the covering is put back. Further concealed damage is recorded and explained before extra work is approved, keeping other owners informed of the actual findings.
- Agree access and authority before concealed layers are opened.
- Separate local boarding repairs from wider structural assessment.
- Record new findings and restore the agreed roof covering.

What Your Sarking & Roof Timber Repairs Quote Covers
Sarking is timber boarding beneath the roof covering, common on Scottish roofs. Limited damaged boards and other accessible non-structural timber can be replaced as part of roofing work. Significant movement, widespread decay or changes to structural supports may need a structural engineer.
- Tracing the water source before timber repair
- Opening the agreed roof area carefully
- Checking exposed roof boards, tile-fixing strips and supporting timbers
- Replacing limited damaged timber to the agreed work
- Putting back the protective layer, timber fixing strips and roof covering
Height, access, materials and the amount of damage affect the price. If more damage is found underneath, any extra work and cost will be discussed before it is agreed.

Before you book
Sarking & Roof Timber Repairs Questions in Glasgow
Can you inspect sarking without removing all the slate?+
Some areas may be visible internally or through local opening. The necessary access depends on the roof and fault.
Will this replace a structural survey?+
No. Suitable limited roofing support repairs have a different purpose from assessing the building's wider structure.
Can a factor receive photographs of exposed damage?+
Agree the reporting required before opening. Photographs can help explain newly visible damage and the additional work proposed.
