The Situations Where a Roof Inspection Matters
If you're buying a property, the standard building inspection typically covers the roof from the ground. You can miss a lot that way. A dedicated roof inspection means getting up on the roof and checking every section properly, and you get a written report on what was found rather than a few lines in a general building report.
If you're making an insurance claim, the quality of your documentation matters. Vague or incomplete reports slow claims down or get them rejected. A report from a licensed roof plumber, written to meet the standard insurers expect, carries a lot more weight.
And if you've noticed water stains on the ceiling or moisture in the walls and aren't sure where it's coming from, an inspection is where you start. We find the source of the problem before anyone starts guessing.

We get on the roof and work through it section by section. That means checking the condition of all roofing materials and fixings, inspecting flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys, assessing the ridge, and checking gutters and downpipes while we're up there.
Everything we find is documented in a written report in plain language. We note defects, flag areas of concern that may cause problems in the future, and outline what we recommend doing about them. If there's an active leak, we trace it back to its source rather than just noting where the water is appearing.
We carry out insurance reports, pre-purchase and pre-sale assessments, and general inspections for homeowners who want to know what condition their roof is in. The report is provided after the inspection and is suitable for insurance claims, conveyancing, and building inspections.

Ben communicated extremely well both by email and text and during the time he arrived to install an upgraded toilet. He explained very clearly three options I had and gave pricing for each. Will definitely use Ben for any future plumbing work and can thoroughly recommend his work and reliability.

Benjamin was very friendly and approachable from the first visit. He explained the issue clearly and repaired our leaking roof to a high standard. Highly recommend his work. Lovely guy to deal with!

Benjamin was very holistic in his inspection and provided a detailed report after checking the roof. I had a roof leak that was causing the power to trip, and he helped identify the areas that needed fixing. He also clearly identified other areas of concern that could lead to major issues down the track. Very helpful and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.
