Roof Inspections & Maintenance in Wellington

What's Included in a Roof Inspection

A roof inspection in Wellington takes the guesswork out of one of the most expensive parts of any home. Whether you are buying a property, preparing to sell, or simply want peace of mind before winter, we carry out a thorough inspection and give you a clear, honest report. We check the roof surface, fixings, flashings, ridges, valleys, penetrations, gutters and downpipes, and where safe and accessible we check the roof cavity for signs of leaks and damp.

You receive a written report with photos of any issues we find, an explanation of what they mean, and priced recommendations sorted by urgency. There is no pressure to have us do the work: the report is yours to use however you like.

When You Need a Roof Inspection

• Before buying a home, so you know the true condition and likely future costs
• Before selling, so there are no nasty surprises in the buyer's building report
• As an annual check to catch small faults before they become leaks
• After a major storm, to assess any damage that is not visible from the ground
• When you have an ageing roof and want to plan for repair, restoration or replacement

Our Inspection Process

1. Access: We inspect the roof safely, using the right equipment for the pitch and height.
2. Assess: We check surface, fixings, flashings, valleys, gutters and, where possible, the cavity.
3. Report: You get a clear written report with photos and priced, prioritised recommendations.
4. Advise: We answer your questions honestly, whether the news is good or bad.

What We Look For

Our inspections focus on the things that actually cause failures on Wellington roofs: corroded fixings and cut edges on iron, cracked and slipped tiles, crumbling ridge mortar, failed and lifting flashings around chimneys and penetrations, blocked and leaking valleys, ponding and split membranes on flat roofs, and blocked or sagging gutters. We also look for the early warning signs, the small faults that are cheap to fix now and expensive to ignore, so you can plan maintenance rather than react to emergencies.

Why Regular Checks Pay Off Here

Wellington's wind, salt air and damp shade all work quietly at a roof between the big, obvious failures. An annual inspection catches the lifting flashing, the loosening fixing and the spreading moss while they are still minor, and routine maintenance is proven to extend the usable life of a roof well beyond a neglected one. For buyers, a pre-purchase inspection is especially valuable, because the roof is one of the costliest components to replace and its condition is easy to hide from the ground. Knowing what you are really buying can save you tens of thousands.

Inspection Pricing

A roof inspection with a written photo report is priced on the size and complexity of the roof and access. It is a modest, fixed cost for genuine peace of mind and a clear plan. If you go on to have us carry out recommended work, we will happily factor the inspection into the job. We can also set up an ongoing maintenance schedule so your roof is checked and cleared regularly without you having to think about it.
