FAQ
Reader questions
How long does a standard roof inspection typically take on site?
A routine residential inspection usually requires two to three hours, while larger or complex commercial roofs may need a half day. Access conditions, roof pitch, and the number of storeys can affect timing.
Do you test for leaks during a standard certified inspection?
We document visible water intrusion and staining, and may recommend controlled water testing where feasible. Actual leak testing beyond visual observation generally requires a separate scope arranged separately.
Will the report include a recommended replacement timeline?
Yes, our reports provide a condition grade and estimate of remaining useful life, helping you plan near-term or long-term roof strategies based on material type and observed deterioration.
Can you provide a report that satisfies strata, insurance, and council requirements together?
We tailor each report to the intended use, incorporating strata, insurance, and council expectations where possible. Clear communication of the report purpose ensures the documentation meets the relevant parties’ needs.
