At Advanced Construction & Roofing, we believe that every home in Northern Ireland deserves a roof that is safe, secure, and built to last. That is why we are currently in the middle of our most ambitious project yet: The Ultimate NI Roof Survey Roadshow. For 100 days, we are traveling to 100 different locations across the country, and today, our focus is firmly on the historic city of Newry.
With over 25 years of industry-leading experience, our team understands the unique architectural landscape of Newry: from the traditional terrace houses near the city center to the modern builds sprawling toward the Mourne Mountains. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a long-term homeowner, or a property developer, a professional roof survey is the most important investment you can make this year.

Why is a Specialist Roof Survey Essential for Newry Homeowners?
Many people assume that a standard RICS HomeBuyer report is enough to confirm the health of a property. However, standard surveys often fall short when it comes to the roof. In most cases, a general surveyor will only observe the roof from ground level, sometimes using nothing more than a pair of binoculars. They do not climb ladders, they do not inspect the internal timber structure in detail, and they certainly do not identify the subtle signs of "nail sickness" or membrane fatigue.
Request a specialist roof survey to ensure your home is truly protected.
In Newry, our weather can be particularly harsh. Sitting between the mountains and the coast, properties here are subjected to high winds, driving rain, and fluctuating temperatures. A "glance through binoculars" simply isn't enough to identify the hairline cracks in slates or the rusted valley gutters that lead to catastrophic leaks during a winter gale. At Advanced Construction & Roofing, we provide a hands-on, comprehensive assessment that leaves no stone unturned.
What Does Our Newry Roof Survey Cover?
When we bring our 100-Day Roadshow to Newry, we provide more than just a quick look. Our surveys are designed to provide a definitive health check for your property. We utilize our 25+ years of expertise to provide a detailed report that includes:
1. External Roof Covering Inspection
We examine every inch of your roof covering. In Newry, many older properties utilize Bangor Blue slates. While these are incredibly durable, they are prone to "nail sickness": where the nails holding the slates in place rust away, causing slates to slip. We identify these issues before they result in a dangerous fall or a major leak.
2. Internal Structural Assessment
A roof is only as strong as the timbers supporting it. Our experts enter the attic space to inspect the rafters, purlins, and joists. We look for signs of sagging, wood rot, or dampness that suggest water ingress. Identifying structural failure early can save you tens of thousands of pounds in the long run.
3. Guttering and Drainage Systems
Newry’s rainfall requires a high-performance drainage system. We assess your gutters, downpipes, and fascia boards to ensure water is being diverted away from your property correctly. Blocked or broken gutters are a leading cause of dampness in Northern Ireland homes.
4. Chimney Stack and Flashing
Leaking chimneys are a common complaint in the Newry area. We inspect the lead flashing and the mortar pointing around the chimney stack to ensure everything is watertight.

The Financial Case: How a Survey Saves You Thousands
A full re-roofing project in Northern Ireland can cost anywhere from £5,000 to over £15,000, depending on the size of the property and the materials used. If you are buying a home in Newry, failing to identify a failing roof can be a financial disaster.
Consider a recent case from our roadshow in East Belfast. A family was in the process of purchasing a home that looked perfect from the outside. The standard bank survey gave it a clean bill of health. However, Advanced Construction & Roofing was called in for a specialist survey. We discovered that the valley gutters had completely rusted through: an issue invisible from the ground. Armed with our professional report and photographic evidence, the family was able to negotiate £4,500 off the asking price to cover the repairs.

Are You Prepared for an Emergency?
Northern Ireland weather is unpredictable. On Friday, 13th of March 2026, as we continue our Newry roadshow, we are reminded that many homeowners only think about their roofs when water is already pouring through the ceiling.
Waiting for a leak to happen is a high-risk strategy. By the time you notice a damp patch on your ceiling, the internal timbers may already be rotting, and your insulation may be compromised. An emergency repair is often a "band-aid" fix; a specialist survey allows for a proactive, permanent solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Surveys in Newry
How long does a roof survey take?
Most residential roof surveys in Newry take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size and accessibility of the property. We provide a quick turnaround on the final report so you can make informed decisions quickly.
Is a roof survey expensive?
Compared to the cost of a full roof replacement, a specialist survey is incredibly affordable. We offer competitive pricing and free quotes for all Newry residents. It is a small price to pay for the security of your biggest asset.
