Know exactly what your roof is doing
A roof keeps its problems hidden. From the ground, a tile roof with failing pointing or a coastal metal roof rusting at the laps can look perfectly sound — right up until the first heavy rain finds the weakness. A proper inspection takes the guesswork out of it, whether you're buying a home, selling one, chasing the source of a leak, or putting together an insurance claim after a storm.
Nowra Roofing Co inspects roofs across the Shoalhaven and gives you a clear, honest account of what we find — good or bad. Licensed & insured. No obligation. Call (02) 4406 4996 to arrange an inspection, or request one here.
When an inspection is worth it
- Before you buy — find out what the roof will really cost you before you sign, not after.
- Before you sell — get ahead of issues a buyer's inspector would flag.
- Chasing a leak — locate the actual source, which is rarely directly above the stain.
- After a storm — document damage for an insurance claim while it's fresh.
- General peace of mind — an ageing roof checked before the storm season, not during it.
Call (02) 4406 4996 to book your inspection — we cover the whole Shoalhaven and there's no cost or obligation to proceed with any work.
What we look at
We get on the roof and assess the things that matter in this climate: tile condition and ridge pointing, the state of flashings and valleys, rust and coating wear on metal roofs, fixing condition, gutter and downpipe drainage, and any signs of past or active water entry. On coastal homes near Jervis Bay and Culburra Beach we pay particular attention to salt corrosion at cut edges, flashings and fixings — the failures that show up early near the water.
Buying on the coast? Get the roof checked first
A roof is one of the most expensive things on a house to put right, and it's the easiest to misjudge from the ground. Around Jervis Bay, Culburra Beach and the open coast we regularly find roofs that look sound but hide salt-corroded flashing, rusted-out laps and failing fixings — problems that don't show until the first big southerly. On the older tiled streets of Nowra and Bomaderry it's perished pointing and brittle tiles. A pre-purchase inspection tells you what you're actually buying and roughly what it may cost to fix, while you can still factor it into your offer rather than discovering it after settlement.
What's in the written report
Where you need documentation — for a purchase, a sale or an insurer — we provide a clear written report covering:
- What we inspected — the roof areas, gutters and cavity we were able to access and assess.
- Condition — tiles or sheets, ridge pointing, flashings, valleys, fixings and drainage, with their current state.
- What needs doing — the issues found, separated into what's urgent and what can wait.
- Photos — images of the key findings so a third party can see what we describe.
It's written to be useful to you and credible to a buyer, vendor or insurer — honest and to the point, not padded out. For storm claims specifically, this pairs with our storm and emergency repairs service.
Honest by default
We report what we find, good or bad. If your roof is sound, we'll say so. If it needs a repair, a restoration or has reached replacement, we'll explain why and roughly what's involved. All work is licensed, insured and backed by a workmanship warranty.
We inspect across the whole service area, including Nowra, Vincentia and Berry. Call (02) 4406 4996 to book.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is the inspection free, or is there a charge?
Our inspection to quote roofing work is free and no-obligation — if you want us to inspect your roof and tell you what it needs, that costs nothing. A detailed written report for a property purchase or an insurance claim is a separate, documented service; we'll tell you the fee up front so there are no surprises.
Should I get a roof inspection before buying a Shoalhaven home?
It's worth it, especially on the coast. A roof can look fine from the ground while hiding rusted-out metal, failed pointing or salt-corroded flashing — exactly the issues common around Jervis Bay and the open coast. A proper inspection tells you what you're really buying and what it may cost to put right, before you commit.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. After storm damage we can document what failed and what's needed to repair it, with photos and a written assessment, which is the evidence insurers ask for. We report honestly on what we find — we don't decide or guarantee claim outcomes, as that's the insurer's call.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A standard residential roof inspection is usually under an hour on site, depending on size, pitch and access — a steep two-storey or hard-to-reach coastal roof takes longer to do safely. If you've asked for a written report, the documentation is prepared afterwards and sent through to you, typically within a few days.
Can you inspect a roof safely if it's steep or two-storey?
Yes. We're set up to access steep, high and awkward roofs safely, which matters on the two-storey homes and tight coastal blocks around the Shoalhaven. Where it isn't safe to walk a roof, we assess it from the points we can reach and from inside the roof cavity, and we'll tell you what we could and couldn't see rather than guess.
