What Homeowners Say About Our Inspection Work
- Anne Warne Home Owner
Ben communicated extremely well both by email and text and during the time he arrived to install an upgraded toilet. He explained very clearly three options I had and gave pricing for each. Will definitely use Ben for any future plumbing work and can thoroughly recommend his work and reliability.

Benjamin was very friendly and approachable from the first visit. He explained the issue clearly and repaired our leaking roof to a high standard. Highly recommend his work. Lovely guy to deal with!
Google - Woan Chen Home Owner
Benjamin was very holistic in his inspection and provided a detailed report after checking the roof. I had a roof leak that was causing the power to trip, and he helped identify the areas that needed fixing. He also clearly identified other areas of concern that could lead to major issues down the track. Very helpful and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

A Closer Look at Our Inspection and Leak Detection Services
Roof Inspections & Leak Detection in Gembrook
Our roof inspections cover the full condition of your roof. We get on the roof and assess all roofing materials, fixings, flashings, ridges, valleys, gutters, and penetrations. Everything we find is documented in a written report with clear language and recommended action where needed.
If there's an active leak, we trace the water path back to its source rather than patching the most obvious spot. Water travels along rafters, sarking, and ceiling cavities before it shows up inside the home, so the entry point is often well away from where the damage appears. We find where it's actually getting in.
Leak Detection
Not every leak comes from the roof. Water ingress can come from plumbing inside the walls, under the slab, or through other parts of the building. Because we're licensed across both roofing and plumbing, we can assess the full picture rather than just one part of it.
If you're seeing water damage and aren't sure where it's coming from, we'll work through it methodically and give you a straight answer on the source before any work starts.
Insurance Reports
When your roof is damaged and you need to make an insurance claim, the quality of your inspection report matters. Insurers want detailed, accurate documentation from a licensed tradesperson. Vague or incomplete reports slow claims down or get them rejected.
Our insurance reports document the damage thoroughly, identify the likely cause, and outline the work required to rectify it. They're written to meet the standard insurers expect and are accepted by insurance providers across Victoria.
Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. The roof is one of the most expensive things to fix if something goes wrong. A pre-purchase roof inspection gives you a full picture of the roof's condition before you commit to the purchase.
We inspect every part of the roof and produce a written report outlining current condition, any defects found, and what those defects are likely to cost to repair. That information can be used to negotiate on price, request repairs before settlement, or simply make a more informed decision about the property.
Pre-Sale Roof Inspections
A pre-sale roof inspection puts you in control before your property goes to market. It lets you find and fix issues before they come up in a buyer's building inspection, which means fewer surprises at settlement and more confidence for buyers.
A clean roof report can also be a genuine selling point. It shows buyers the property has been maintained and the roof is in good condition, which reduces their risk and can support a stronger sale price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our reports cover the condition of all roofing materials, fixings, flashings, ridges, valleys, gutters, and downpipes. We document any defects found, note areas of concern that may cause problems in the future, and outline recommended action. Reports are written in plain language and include photos where relevant.
Yes. Our inspection reports are produced by a licensed roof plumber and are accepted by insurance providers across Victoria.
It depends on the size and complexity of the roof. Most residential inspections take between one and two hours. The written report is provided after the inspection.
A general building inspection covers the roof visually from ground level in most cases. A dedicated roof inspection from a licensed roof plumber involves getting on the roof and checking every section up close. If the roof is a concern, a dedicated inspection gives you a much more detailed and reliable assessment.
Yes. We can inspect the roof, provide a written report, and carry out any repairs that are identified. That means you deal with one tradesman through the whole process.
