Train Operators and Network Rail are responsible for conducting visual inspections at the stations they manage every twelve months and detailed inspections every five years.

As the responsibility for maintaining stations is split between Network Rail and the various Train Operating Companies, there is no central record of cost for the regular station roof inspections that are undertaken.
