## Know the roof before you buy

A professional roof inspection provides property owners, buyers and managers with an independent, documented assessment of a roof’s condition, remaining serviceable life and any defects requiring attention. Innovare Roofing carries out inspections across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and SEQ, with written reports and photographic documentation.

Buying without a roof inspection is a significant risk — roofing defects are among the most expensive post-purchase surprises, with a full re-roof on a standard Brisbane home costing $15,000–$35,000 or more. An inspection before exchange gives you leverage, or a reason to walk away.

What We Assess

## A physical inspection, not a drive-by

### Roof Cladding

Tile or metal sheet condition — cracking, corrosion, displacement — assessed by physically accessing the roof where safe.

### Ridges & Valleys

Ridge and hip capping bedding and pointing integrity, plus valley iron and flashings for perforation or uplift.

### Gutters & Fascia

Gutters and downpipes for condition, falls, blockages and leaks; fascia and soffit for rot, delamination and damage.

### Flashings & Sarking

Flashings at penetrations, walls, skylights and roof-to-wall junctions, plus any visible sarking condition issues.

### Skylights & Drainage

Skylight glazing and flashing condition, and evidence of ponding or inadequate run-off.

### Written Report

A PDF report: overall condition (Good/Fair/Poor), all defects with photos, priority classification, estimated costs and remaining life.

Common Questions

## Frequently asked questions

For a standard residential property, the physical inspection takes 45–90 minutes. The written report is typically provided the same day.

Yes. Pre-purchase inspections are one of our most common inspection types. We coordinate with the selling agent to access the property at an agreed time.

Our reports document roof condition with photographs and a written assessment by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Most insurers accept this as a condition report, but we recommend confirming with your insurer what format they require.

We provide estimated repair costs with the report, which you can use for price negotiation or an informed purchase decision. We are also available to discuss findings with your solicitor or buyer’s agent if required.
