Sometimes you are not sure what is in the roof. You might hear a noise now and then, notice a smell in one room or see a small stain on the ceiling. A roof space inspection gives you a clear picture before you commit to any work. It suits homes in Windsor where the noise has stopped and started, or where you have just bought an older house and want to see what is up there. It also helps when you are not sure whether the noise is a possum, a rat or something else.
The crew we book goes through the manhole and checks the roof space with a torch, then walks the outside roof line. They look for:
- Nests, droppings and urine stains on insulation and timber
- Rub marks and fur around gaps and beams
- Signs of rats or mice, such as chewed cables
- Gaps at the ridge, eaves, valleys and roof vents
- Branches, vines or wires that give easy access to the roof
After the inspection, the crew explains what they found in plain words and, where they can, shows you photos. If there is a possum or rat problem, they tell you what work would help and give you a price for it. You do not have to book the work on the day, and you are free to think it over. If nothing is found, you still come away with a clear idea of the gaps to watch.
Inspections are also useful after a big storm, when tiles and flashing can move and open new gaps. To book a roof space inspection in Windsor, call 07 3543 7771 and we will give you an upfront price and a time that suits you.
