Roof Inspections and Reports in Perth
Whether you’re buying, selling, claiming on insurance or just want to know before winter, a roofer’s inspection tells you what’s actually wrong, what can wait and what it should cost. We get on the roof and into the roof space, photograph everything, and put it in plain English.

What Does a Roof Inspection Include?
A roofer’s inspection checks the roof covering (tiles or sheets), ridge and hip capping, valleys, flashings, penetrations, gutters, downpipes and fascia from on the roof, then the framing, battens, sarking, insulation and signs of leaks from inside the roof space. You get photos of every issue, a priority for each, and repair costs.

How Much Does a Roof Inspection Cost in Perth?
A written roof inspection report in Perth typically costs about $250 to $550, according to independent Perth cost guides (November 2026). The price depends on roof size, height, access and how detailed the report is. A quick look to quote one specific repair is often part of the quote; a full written condition report for a buyer or insurer is usually paid. Ask which you’re getting when you book.

Who Needs a Roof Inspection?
Anyone making a decision about a roof: buyers before settlement, sellers before listing, owners lodging a storm insurance claim, landlords and property managers, owners planning a restoration or re-roof, and anyone with a leak they can’t trace. In Perth, the best time for a routine check is autumn, before the winter fronts arrive.
Buying a house: is a building and pest inspection enough for the roof?
A building and pest (B&P) inspection is essential, but it’s a general inspection. Many B&P inspections look at the roof from a ladder or a drone and through the manhole, and they flag issues rather than price them. If your B&P report flags the roof, a roofer can get on it, confirm what’s wrong and quote the fix, so you can negotiate with facts.
Perth buyers sometimes discover roof problems after settlement that weren’t obvious during a general inspection. A roof-specific inspection on an older home is cheap insurance.
Should I fix the roof before selling my house?
It’s usually worth fixing obvious, cheap problems like cracked tiles, loose ridge capping and rusted gutters, and having any leak repaired, because buyers’ building inspectors will find them and use them to negotiate. Major work, like a full re-roof, is a judgement call. A roof report with photos helps you price it either way.
Do I Need a Roof Report for Insurance, a Rental or a New Build?
Often, yes. A dated, photographed report is the evidence insurers, agents and builders respond to.
01. Insurance and storm damage
Your insurer will want to know what the storm caused and what was already there. We provide a dated report with photos, an honest note on storm damage versus wear and tear, and an itemised repair quote. See emergency and storm repairs.
02. Landlords and property managers
A serious roof leak is an urgent repair for a WA rental. We coordinate access with tenants and send the agent and owner a photo report, quote and invoice. Inspections before winter help avoid emergency call-outs.
03. New builds and builder defects
If your new or near-new home has leaks, condensation or roof defects, an independent roofer’s report documents the problem. Raise it with the builder in writing within your warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, Building and Energy handles building complaints in WA.
What Does Our Roof Report Look Like?
Our reports are written for homeowners, not other roofers. Each issue gets a photo, a plain-English description, why it matters, and a priority:
01. Fix now
Active leaks, loose or broken parts, safety issues.
02. Fix before winter
Problems likely to cause leaks in heavy rain.
03. Monitor
Wear that isn’t urgent but will need attention.
04. Repair cost ranges
Each item has a cost range, so you can plan and budget.
05. Sent by email
Photos, priorities and costs in one document you can share with an agent, buyer or insurer.
How Often Should a Roof Be Inspected in Perth?
Every two to three years for most homes, and after any major storm or hail. Older roofs (30+ years), coastal homes and homes under trees benefit from a yearly check. The best time in Perth is autumn, from March to May, so any repairs are done before the winter fronts.
