Servicing Brisbane, South East Queensland & Sunshine Coast
Know exactly what is happening on your roof before a small problem becomes an expensive one.
Most roof problems do not announce themselves until they have already caused damage. A failed screw washer lets water in for months before a ceiling stain appears. A lifted flashing only becomes obvious when wind-driven rain hits it at the right angle. A corroded valley section looks fine from the ground until it has been leaking into the wall cavity for a season.
A free roof inspection from Custom Profile Roofing gives you the information you need to make a confident decision about your roof: what is actually happening up there, what needs attention now, what can wait, and what the most cost-effective course of action is. No guesswork, no vague quotes over the phone, no pressure to proceed.
What you get from every free inspection:
On-site inspection by a qualified tradesperson where roof access is safe
Photos of every issue found, so you can see exactly what we see
Plain-language explanation of each finding and what it means
Recommendation on the most appropriate response: repair, restoration, or re-roof
Written quote for the recommended scope with no obligation to proceed
roof inspection
What Is Included in Our Free Roof Inspection
A thorough roof inspection covers more than a quick look from the ground. Here is the full checklist of what our team assesses during every free inspection:
Visual Roof Assessment
A systematic assessment of the roof surface including sheet condition across all visible sections, lap and seam integrity, fastener and washer condition at exposed fixing points, and any visible corrosion, physical damage, or deformation of the sheeting.
On metal roofs this includes checking for rust bloom at screw heads, perished washers, lifted or separated laps, and any areas of surface corrosion that have progressed or are progressing.
Common Leak Point Inspection
A targeted check of every high-risk junction on the roof: all flashings at wall junctions, parapet edges, and changes of direction; ridge capping and barge capping condition and fixing integrity; all penetration flashings around skylights, roof vents, solar panel mounts, antenna bases, and any other element passing through the roof surface; valley gutters and box gutters where accessible, including condition, debris load, and drainage evidence.
Gutter and Downpipe Check
Where accessible, we check gutters and downpipe heads for debris accumulation, overflow evidence, corrosion, and grade issues that could be contributing to water backing up under sheeting. Blocked or overflowing gutters are a more common cause of apparent roof leaks than homeowners generally expect.
Roof Space Check
Where safe access to the roof space is available, we check for water staining on the underside of sheeting or sarking, wet or compressed insulation, and any evidence of sustained or active water ingress from above. Roof space evidence often reveals the extent and duration of a water entry problem that is not yet visible on the ceiling below.
Photos and Findings Summary
Every issue identified during the inspection is photographed at roof level. You receive a clear photo record of what was found, where it is on the roof, and what condition it is in. This record is yours regardless of whether you proceed with any work.
Repair, Restoration, or Re-Roof Recommendation
Based on the inspection findings, we provide an honest recommendation on the most appropriate course of action and a written quote for the recommended scope. If targeted repairs are the right call, we say so. If the roof is at a stage where restoration or re-roofing is a better long-term investment, we explain why and give you the information to make an informed decision.
residential & commercial
Residential Roof Inspections
For homeowners across Brisbane, SEQ, the Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba, a free roof inspection is the most straightforward way to get clarity on the condition of your roof without committing to any work. Here are the most common reasons homeowners book an inspection:
After a leak or ceiling stain has appeared, to find the actual source rather than guessing.
After a storm, hail event, or significant wind event, to confirm whether the roof has been damaged and what the extent is.
When you notice rust patches, lifted capping, or visible deterioration but are not sure whether it warrants action now or can wait.
Before selling or listing a property, to understand the roof condition and address any issues that might become a point of negotiation during a sale.
Before buying a property, to get an independent assessment of the roof condition before committing to the purchase.
After solar panels, a new antenna, or any other trade has worked on the roof, to confirm that penetration flashings are intact and no new entry points have been created.
As a general maintenance check if the roof is ageing and has not been inspected in several years.

Commercial and Industrial Roof Inspections
For facility managers, building owners, and strata managers, a roof inspection is a practical tool for maintenance planning, risk management, and budgeting. We carry out commercial roof inspections across Brisbane, SEQ, the Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba on warehouses, workshops, retail and strata complexes, schools, and office buildings.
What a commercial inspection delivers beyond the standard residential scope:
A condition report structured for facility management use, covering sheet condition, fastener status, drainage component condition, flashing and capping integrity, and a prioritised recommended action list with urgency grading.
Leak tracing on large-span roofs where the entry point is not directly above the interior stain, using a systematic inspection methodology rather than guesswork.
Assessment of high-risk detailing areas including parapet flashings, box gutters, plant equipment penetrations, and any roof sections that have been modified or penetrated by other trades.
Scheduling around building operations to minimise disruption. For occupied facilities, we confirm access requirements and working hours before booking the inspection.
Photo documentation of every finding suitable for maintenance records, insurance purposes, or contractor briefing.

What Happens After the Inspection? Your Options
Once the inspection is complete and you have the photos, findings, and written quote in front of you, the decision is entirely yours. There is no pressure to proceed and no obligation attached to the free inspection. Here are the options we typically present:
Targeted Repairs
Isolated failure points on an otherwise sound roof
Leaks, flashings, screws,
sheets, cappings
Best for: specific issues
that need fixing now
Restoration
Roof structurally sound but surface fatigued
Fading, minor rust, aged sealants
Best for: extending life at a fraction of replacement cost
Re-Roof
Widespread corrosion or multiple failure points
End of serviceable life
Best for: when ongoing repairs no longer represent good value
Targeted Repairs
For roofs with isolated failure points on an otherwise sound structure: specific leaks, a failed flashing, a section of perished screws, a lifted capping, or a corroded sheet. Repairs address the defined problem efficiently without the cost and disruption of a broader scope.
Roof Restoration
For roofs that are structurally sound but showing broader surface fatigue: fading, minor rust across multiple fastener points, aged sealants at penetrations, and general weathering that has reduced the protective surface. A restoration involves repairs, thorough preparation, and a recoating system that extends the roof's serviceable life at a fraction of re-roofing cost.
Re-Roofing
For roofs that have reached or passed the end of their serviceable life: widespread corrosion, repeated leaks at multiple locations, sheeting that is past structural repair. A re-roof solves the problem permanently with a new metal system built for Queensland conditions.

FAQ
Metal Roof restoration FAQs
Is the inspection really free? What is included?
Yes, the inspection is genuinely free with no hidden conditions attached to the offer. What is included is an on-site visual assessment of the roof surface, common leak points, flashings and cappings, and where accessible, gutters and roof space; photos of every issue found; a priority-graded summary of findings; and a written quote for the recommended scope of work. The only practical conditions are safe access to the roof, suitable weather on the day, and that your property is within our service area.
Is there any obligation to proceed with repairs after the inspection?
No. The inspection is genuinely no-obligation. You receive the photos, the findings summary, and the written quote. What you do with that information is entirely your decision. We do not follow up with pressure calls or time-limited offers. If you decide to get other quotes or simply wait, that is completely fine.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential roof inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on roof size, complexity, and the number of issues found. Larger residential roofs with multiple penetrations and drainage components take longer. Commercial inspections on larger buildings can take two to three hours or more. We will give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
You do not need to be present for the roof inspection itself, but someone needs to be available to confirm access to the property. For properties where roof access requires going through the interior of the building, someone will need to be present to allow access. After the inspection, we provide the photos and findings summary and follow up with the written quote by phone or email, so you can review the findings at a time that suits you.
Do you carry out inspections in the rain?
No. Roof inspections are not carried out in wet conditions because wet metal roofing is unsafe to walk on. If the scheduled inspection day is wet, we will contact you as early as possible to reschedule. For inspections booked to follow up on an active leak, we prioritise rescheduling as quickly as the weather permits.
Will I receive photos and a written quote from the inspection?
Yes, always. Every inspection includes photo documentation of every issue found and a written quote for the recommended scope of work. These are provided to you regardless of whether you choose to proceed. The photo record is yours to keep and can be used for your own reference, for insurance purposes, or when comparing quotes from other contractors.
Can you inspect commercial roofs and warehouses?
Yes. We carry out commercial roof inspections on warehouses, workshops, factories, retail and strata complexes, schools, and office buildings across Brisbane, SEQ, the Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba. Commercial inspections include a condition report structured for facility management use with prioritised action recommendations. Contact us to discuss scheduling around your building's operational requirements.
Do you inspect Colorbond and all metal roof types?
Yes. We inspect all common metal roofing systems used in Queensland including Colorbond, Zincalume, Klip-Lok, Trimdek, corrugated iron, and architectural standing seam profiles. Our inspections are metal-roof specific. We do not inspect tiled roofs.
How quickly can repairs be scheduled after the inspection?
For urgent repairs where active water ingress is causing immediate damage, we schedule as quickly as our availability allows. For non-urgent repairs, scheduling is based on our current workload and your preferred timing. We confirm the schedule in writing before the repair team arrives. For post-storm periods when demand is high, we work through the inspection queue as quickly as safely possible and communicate realistic timeframes.
