Inspection Frequency

How Often Should Your Roof Be Inspected?

Tile Roofs

We generally recommend a professional inspection every 1–2 years, particularly for older roofs or properties surrounded by large trees.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofs typically require less maintenance, however a professional inspection every two years helps identify loose flashings, corrosion or drainage issues.

After Severe Weather

Following storms, hail or strong winds, it's worth having your roof inspected for hidden damage, displaced materials or blocked drainage.

Seasonal Inspections

An inspection before the wetter months helps ensure your roof and guttering system are ready for increased rainfall.

Common Maintenance Issues

Problems We Commonly Identify During Roof Inspections

Even well-built roofs naturally deteriorate over time due to weather exposure and general ageing. Regular inspections help identify these issues early, allowing maintenance to be carried out before more significant damage occurs.

Broken Roof Tiles

Cracked or displaced tiles can allow water to enter the roof space and should be repaired before they lead to leaks.

Blocked Gutters

Leaves and debris prevent rainwater from flowing correctly, increasing the risk of overflowing gutters and water damage.

Damaged Flashings

Flashings around chimneys, skylights and roof junctions can deteriorate over time and should be inspected regularly.

Moss & Lichen

Organic growth can trap moisture against roofing materials and should be monitored as part of ongoing maintenance.
