Why Is A Roofing Inspection Important?
Our inspections go beyond a cursory check
A properly installed and maintained roof is essential for protecting your home and keeping water out of the ceiling, insulation and framing below. We understand that uncertainty about compliance and hidden issues can cause anxiety and concern. We provide detailed reports that compare your roofing installation to these rigorous standards, uncovering hidden compliance issues that might not be immediately visible.
While other inspectors might bypass post-handover checks due to safety challenges, we’re set up for them: harness access where the roof can be walked safely, and a drone where it cannot. The report shows what we saw there in photographs. With our team’s combined 106+ years of technical expertise, we answer your questions about compliance, and the report names every defect we find, with a photograph of each one.
Why Choose Us For Your Roofing Inspection?
Certified Professionals YOU CAN TRUST
Many building authorities and inspectors avoid roofing inspections due to inherent safety risks. However, at Site Inspections, we are fully equipped and qualified to conduct these critical evaluations, and the report states where the roof falls short of AS 3500.3 or HB 39. We also inspect roofs after handover. Where a defect needs opening up or further testing before it can be diagnosed, the report says so rather than guessing.
The Site Inspection Difference
- Expertise in roofing standards – our team are experts in the AS 3500.3 and HB 39 National Construction Codes, and we check the drainage, flashing and weatherproofing on your roof against them
- Qualified & experienced – we are certified to work at heights, equipped, and experienced to record what we find by directly inspecting your roof, not just from the ground
- Manufacturer compliance – we check the roofing system against the manufacturer installation requirements and the standards that apply, and the report records where it differs
