Roof inspection costs in Sydney typically range from $150 to $350 depending on roof size, accessibility, and what’s included in the report.At Ontime Tradie, we provide upfront fixed pricing before we start — no surprises. Here’s what affects the cost:
Roof size — a standard single-storey home takes less time than a large two-storey or multi-dwelling property.
Accessibility — steep pitches or roofs requiring specialised equipment may incur a higher call-out rate.
Report type — a basic visual inspection costs less than a full written report with photos suitable for insurance or property sale purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most inspections take 45 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the roof and the level of access required. Larger commercial or multi-unit properties may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Sydney?
Costs typically range from $150 to $350. The final price depends on roof size, accessibility, and the type of report required. We provide upfront fixed pricing before attending — no hidden fees.
Do you provide a written report after the inspection?
Yes. Every inspection includes a written summary with photographs of any damage or areas of concern, along with recommendations. For insurance purposes, we provide a more detailed timestamped photo report on request.
Can you do a roof inspection for an insurance claim?
Yes. We regularly carry out inspections for insurance purposes, including post-storm assessments and annual condition reports. Our reports include timestamped photos, a written assessment, and details on probable cause of damage — in a format accepted by most NSW insurers.
Do you inspect roofs before I buy a property?
Absolutely. A pre-purchase roof inspection is one of the most valuable inspections you can get before buying a home. We’ll tell you the current condition, any immediate repair needs, and what to expect in ongoing maintenance costs.
Can you inspect after a storm?
Yes — post-storm inspections are a priority service. We can usually attend within the same day or next day after a significant weather event across Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle.
What types of roofs do you inspect?
We inspect all residential and commercial roof types including terracotta and concrete tiles, Colorbond and corrugated metal, flat roofs, skillion roofs, and heritage-style roofing. We also inspect gutters, downpipes, skylights, and ridge capping as part of the standard check.
What if you find damage during the inspection?
If we spot a small issue like a cracked tile or loose flashing, we may be able to fix it on the spot. For larger repairs, we’ll give you a clear written quote so you can decide how to proceed — no pressure.
Do you use drones for roof inspections?
For roofs that are difficult to access safely, we can use drone inspection as part of our assessment. This is arranged at the time of booking if the roof type or pitch makes ladder access impractical.
Can you check my gutters and downpipes at the same time?
Yes — gutters and downpipes are included as part of every standard inspection. If you want a deeper gutter clean as well, we can do that in the same visit and quote it separately upfront.
