Roof Inspections Canberra

A roof hides its problems well β€” and in Canberra the dangerous ones (frost-cracked pointing, rusting valleys, perished metal fasteners) are invisible from the street. Our free inspection gets a real set of eyes on the roof, photographs what's there, and gives you an honest written verdict: what's fine, what needs watching, and what needs doing.

When a roof inspection saves you real money

  • Before buying a Canberra home β€” the roof can hide major cost
  • After a hailstorm β€” to evidence an insurance claim properly
  • Before renovating β€” get the roof verdict before you design the kitchen
  • When a stain appears β€” to find the cause before it spreads
  • Every few years on older tile β€” to catch frost-cracked pointing early

What an honest inspection looks like

Our inspection isn't a sales call with a roof attached. We get up there, look properly, and tell you what we actually find β€” including when the answer is 'your roof is in good shape, leave it alone'. Where work is needed we show you the photos and explain the options and the real urgency. You get a written report you can keep, whether or not you ever book us for the work. That's the standard we hold, because in this trade trust is the whole business.

What we actually check

  • Tiles or sheets β€” cracked, slipped, porous or rusting
  • Ridge capping β€” bedding and pointing condition
  • Valleys and flashings β€” rust, leaf litter and failed seals
  • Fasteners and penetrations on metal roofs
  • Gutters, downpipes and the whole roof edge
  • Signs of past leaks and patch repairs in the roof space where accessible

Pre-purchase inspections: read the roof before you buy

On a home purchase the roof is one of the biggest hidden costs β€” and one of the hardest to judge from the ground or a quick open-house look. A 1970s Belconnen tile roof or a heritage Inner-South terracotta can hide five figures of difference between 'restorable' and 'replace'. We do a steady run of pre-purchase inspections across Canberra: a proper look on the roof, a photo report you can keep, and a straight restore-or-replace verdict β€” usually inside the cooling-off window, so you can buy with your eyes open or negotiate with evidence in hand.

Roof Inspections β€” Common Questions

Is the inspection really free?

Yes β€” a standard roof inspection and verbal verdict cost nothing and come with no obligation. Detailed written pre-purchase or insurance reports may have a small fee, which we'll tell you about first.

Do you do pre-purchase roof inspections?

Regularly β€” across Canberra and especially on older homes changing hands. We give you an independent photo report and an honest restore-or-replace verdict before you commit.

How quickly can you inspect after a storm?

Post-storm assessments are prioritised so you can lodge your insurance claim promptly with proper evidence β€” usually within days of Canberra's major hail events.

Will you just tell me I need a new roof?

No β€” we tell you the truth, and often that's 'it's fine, check it again in a couple of years'. We quote what the roof needs, not what the visit needs to be worth.

How long does a roof inspection take?

Usually around 30 minutes on the roof for a standard home, plus the time to talk you through the photos and findings. Pre-purchase and insurance reports take a little longer because of the written documentation.

Do I get a written report?

For pre-purchase and insurance work, yes β€” a documented photo report you can keep and act on. A standard free inspection comes with a clear verbal verdict and the photos; a written summary is available on request.

Can you inspect just for peace of mind, with no work planned?

Absolutely β€” plenty of our inspections end with 'your roof's fine'. There's no obligation, and knowing where your roof stands is worth having whether or not anything needs doing.
