Roof Inspection
A focused assessment of roof covering, structure, waterproofing and gutters — the most common source of expensive defects.
Typical cost
R1,500 – R3,500
What this inspection covers
- Roof covering (tiles, sheeting, slate) condition
- Trusses, beams and structural timber
- Waterproofing, flashings and valleys
- Gutters, downpipes and drainage
- Identification of asbestos roofing where present
Why it matters in South Africa
Roof and waterproofing failures are among the costliest home repairs in South Africa, and older homes may still have asbestos roofing that needs specialist handling. A roof inspection catches problems before they become structural.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my roof has asbestos?
Many SA homes built before the mid-1990s have asbestos cement roof sheets. An inspector can identify likely asbestos and advise on safe, compliant replacement.
