FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important for homes and businesses in Mascot?
Mascot’s mix of coastal weather, aircraft traffic, and older housing stock exposes roofs to salt-laden winds, vibration, and sudden storm events. Regular inspections identify cracked tiles, loose metal sheets, blocked gutters, and early water ingress before they escalate into leaks that can damage ceilings, electrics, or inventory. A professional assessment also documents the roof’s condition for insurance, warranty, and compliance purposes, helping property owners avoid costly emergency repairs.
What does a Priority Repairs Roofing inspection include?
Our qualified technicians carry out a comprehensive 27-point check covering tiles, metal sheeting, flashing, ridge capping, valleys, gutters, down-pipes, skylights, vents, and internal roof space. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging (where required), and high-resolution photos to detect hidden leaks or insulation issues. You receive a digital report with annotated images, a condition rating, and prioritised recommendations—ranging from simple maintenance to urgent safety repairs.
How often should I book a roof inspection in Mascot?
For most tiled and metal roofs we recommend a professional inspection every 12 months. However, properties within 3 km of the shoreline, under a flight path, or with large overhanging trees may need 6-monthly checks. Additional inspections are advised after major hail, wind, or heavy-rain events. Regular schedules help maintain warranty conditions and extend the service life of your roof by 5–10 years.
Will the inspection disrupt my day, and how long does it take?
A standard residential inspection takes 45–90 minutes; commercial or strata complexes can take 2–3 hours. Our team arrives in marked vehicles, uses safety harnesses, and follows COVID-safe and WorkCover guidelines. We do not require access to every room—only the manhole to the roof cavity—so you can continue working from home or running your business with minimal interruption.
What happens if you find urgent damage during the inspection?
If we detect issues that threaten immediate water ingress—such as broken tiles, lifted flashings, or punctured membranes—we’ll perform temporary make-safe work on the spot (e.g., tarping or emergency sealing) and include the cost in your quote. You’ll then receive a detailed proposal for permanent repairs, complete with itemised pricing, recommended materials, and an estimated timeline so you can make an informed decision quickly.
Are roof inspections covered by insurance or warranties?
Most home and strata insurance policies cover damage, not preventive inspections, so the service is usually an owner’s expense. However, the inspection report often satisfies insurers’ evidence requirements when making a claim for storm or hail damage. For newly installed roofs, many manufacturers require proof of regular professional inspections to keep material warranties valid. Ask your insurer or builder for specific clauses—our team can tailor the report format to meet those requirements.
