Roof Inspection Report

A damaged or aging roof can lead to costly repairs, water damage or structural issues. Our expert roof inspections identify hidden weaknesses – whether from storms, general wear or poor drainage – so you can fix them before they escalate. We’ll provide a detailed report with practical solutions to keep your roof in tip-top shape.  

For commercial properties in Australia, regular roof inspections are not just recommended—they’re essential. Given the larger surface area and the increased complexity of commercial roofing systems, it’s advised to inspect your commercial roof twice a year: autumn and spring, to prepare for summer/winter storms and to assess any damage from previous storm season. 

Regular inspections help identify and address issues like water pooling, membrane damage, and blockages in drainage systems, which are common problems in commercial roofs. 

 

Why it matters:   

  • Prevents costly water damage and structural issues 

  • Identifies wear and tear before storm season 

  • Ensures rainwater harvesting systems remain effective  

Who needs it?  

  • Homeowners and businesses looking to protect their investment 

  • Properties needing to meet safety and maintenance standards 

  • Anyone wanting to reduce long-term repair costs 

  • Commercial property owners or asset managers doing their due diligence prior to buying or leasing a building to detect any defects likely to cause problems or need repair in the future 

When do I need it? 

  • Commercial: at least annually 

  • Residential: Recommended every 3-5 years 

  • Before and after extreme weather events, such as storms 

  • Before purchasing or leasing a new property 

  • When planning major renovations
