Why Inspections for Roof Are Important Before Buying a Property in Brisbane
Early Detection of Issues
Many roofing problems aren't visible from ground level. Cracked tiles, loose flashing, rust spots, or deteriorated underlays can quietly worsen over time.
Extend Roof Lifespan
Brisbane's hot sun, occasional hail, and heavy rains take a toll on roofing materials. Regular inspections ensure minor issues like small cracks, faded sealant, or blocked gutters are addressed before they escalate.
Increase Property Value
A well-maintained roof significantly enhances a property's market value. Buyers are more confident making offers when the roof is in excellent condition and backed by a professional inspection report.
Benefits of Professional Roofing Services
Add Property Value
A roof in good condition enhances the look and market value of your property. Buyers are more likely to offer closer to the asking price when they know the roof is in excellent condition.
Prevent Future Damage
What starts as a small leak or minor rust can quickly evolve into structural damage or mould growth. Our inspections catch these issues before they become expensive headaches.
Protect Your Household
Your roof protects everything and everyone under it. Unseen issues like asbestos degradation or moisture entering insulation can pose health risks.
Types of Roofs We Inspect in Brisbane
Tiled Roofs
Tiled roofs are very common in Brisbane’s residential areas. While they offer great insulation and a classic look, they can crack, slip or lose their ridge capping over time.
Metal Roofs
Colorbond and zincalume roofs are popular for their durability, but they’re not immune to issues. Rust, fading, loose screws, and damaged flashing are common problems we uncover.
Flat Roofs
Flat roofs require a different inspection approach due to their tendency to collect water. We look for signs of ponding, seam separation, membrane wear, and structural sagging.
Asbestos Roofs
Many older Brisbane homes still feature asbestos-cement (fibro) roofing. These need cautious handling due to health risks. We inspect asbestos roofs visually.
Slate Roofs
Though less common, slate roofs do exist on Brisbane’s heritage or luxury properties. These roofs require specific expertise, as cracked or slipped slats can allow water in and are difficult to spot from the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof inspection take in Brisbane?
A typical inspection takes between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the size and height of your property. Complex roof designs or poor access may require additional time.
What are the signs my roof needs inspection?
Look for leaks, cracked or missing tiles, rust spots, sagging areas, rising energy bills, or visible mould. Post-storm damage or when buying/selling a property are also key triggers for an inspection.
Can I perform a roof inspection myself?
While basic visual checks from the ground are helpful, climbing on the roof without training or safety gear is risky. A professional inspector has the tools and experience to identify faults safely and accurately.
What happens during a professional roof inspection?
We examine the roof externally using ladders and tools. Where possible, we check inside roof cavities for signs of leaks, insulation issues or pests. Photos and moisture readings help document every finding.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
The cost of a roof inspection can vary depending on factors such as the size and type of property, the complexity of the roof, and the scope of the inspection.
