How Often Should You Get a Roof Inspection?

How Often Should You Get a Roof Inspection?

Most homeowners only think about their roof when something goes wrong. But roofs, like cars, perform best with regular check-ups rather than reactive repairs.

Our General Recommendation

For most Sydney homes, a professional inspection every 12-24 months is a solid baseline. Homes older than 20 years, or those with a history of leaks, benefit from annual checks.

When You Should Book One Sooner

  • After any severe storm, hailstorm, or high wind event
  • Before buying or selling a property
  • If you notice any water stains, no matter how small
  • After major tree work or scaffolding has been near your roof
  • If your roof is approaching the manufacturer's stated lifespan

What a Proper Inspection Covers

A thorough inspection isn't just a glance from the ground. Our process includes checking tile or sheet condition, flashing and valley integrity, gutter and downpipe function, ridge capping, and a look inside the roof cavity for signs of moisture, pests, or timber damage.

We offer free inspections with a detailed written report -- useful whether you're planning ahead or just want peace of mind before the next storm season.
