What’s Involved in a Roof Inspection?
Our comprehensive roof inspections are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear action plan-if anything needs attention.
Our Roof Inspection Process:
- Initial Assessment – We ask about any concerns and review the roof from the ground
- Roof Access & Walkthrough – We check the roof surface, flashings, gutters, valleys, and ridge capping
- Detailed Checks – We look for broken tiles, signs of leaks, rust, sagging, or structural issues
- Photo Documentation – We provide photos of any issues found for transparency
- Recommendations & Report – We outline what’s in good condition, what needs maintenance, and whether repairs are urgent or routine
Common Issues We Look For:
- Cracked, loose, or missing tiles
- Rusting metal sheets or flashings
- Blocked or damaged gutters
- Signs of water damage or internal leaks
- Roof sagging or poor drainage
- UV and storm damage
Why Regular Roof Inspections Matter
Your roof is your first line of defence against the elements. An annual inspection can help you:
- Prevent leaks and water damage before they impact ceilings or walls
- Catch minor issues early to avoid expensive repairs later
- Extend the life of your roof with targeted maintenance
- Maintain safety and compliance for insurance or resale
- Feel confident after a storm or before a property purchase

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most single-storey residential inspections take 45–90 minutes on site. Two-storey homes or complex roof configurations take up to 2 hours. You receive a written report with photos within 24 hours.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
You don’t need to be present, but we recommend it so we can walk you through any issues we find in real time. If you can’t be home, we’ll complete the inspection and email the full report.
What's the difference between a roof inspection and a building inspection?
A standard pre-purchase building inspection includes a visual roof check from ground level or eaves. A dedicated roof inspection involves a physical inspection on the roof surface, checking every tile, flashing, valley, and penetration up close. Most building inspectors disclaim roof conditions beyond what’s visible from ground level.
Can you inspect a roof after rain?
Yes. Post-rain inspections are often more useful because active leak paths and wet areas are visible. We take appropriate safety precautions on wet surfaces.
Will you repair issues found during the inspection?
We provide a separate itemised quote for any repairs. You are not obligated to proceed with AIM LOCAL for repairs — the inspection report belongs to you regardless.
How often should a Sydney roof be inspected?
Every 2–3 years for homes under 15 years old. Annually for homes over 15 years, homes in areas with heavy tree cover, or after any significant storm event. More frequently for terracotta tile roofs, which have pointed ridges that degrade faster than concrete or metal.
Do you inspect roofs before installing solar panels?
Yes. A pre-solar roof inspection is strongly recommended. Solar installers are not licensed roofers and are not responsible for pre-existing defects. An inspection before installation protects your warranty and ensures the roof can structurally carry the panel load.
What areas do you service for roof inspections?
AIM LOCAL conducts roof inspections across Sydney (all suburbs), Central Coast, and Newcastle. Same-week bookings are usually available.
