What is a Roofing Consultant?

Share this article

A roofing consultant is a specialised expert who provides independent, professional advice on roofing systems, including their design, installation, roof inspection, and long-term roof maintenance. Unlike roofing contractors who perform the physical labour, a roofing consultant works on behalf of property owners, building managers, or architects to ensure that every roofing project meets industry standards, building codes, and client expectations. Their services often include conducting detailed roof assessments, identifying issues such as leaks or material failures, recommending cost-effective solutions, and overseeing contractors during installation or repair. Hiring a qualified roofing consultant helps extend the life of your roof, prevent costly damage, and protect your property investment with expert oversight and quality assurance.

As independent roofing consultants, we can help building and property owners make informative decisions and devise the best strategy for your roof, saving you time and money. An old or leaking roof does not necessarily mean it needs replacing, often there can be a more cost-effective solution, you should first determine what needs to be done as it may be possible to extend your roof’s life for several more years.

Independent Roofing Consultants

As independent roofing consultants, we do not sell or install roofing products and are not owned by an organisation that does. Because of our independence, we are focused on what is best for your roof.

Independent Inspections

When it comes to your roofing system, you need a consultant who can advise you appropriately on repair vs replacement options. In some cases, a repair may be the best course of action for your roof rather than a full replacement. As independent roofing consultants, we will carry out a roofing inspection and provide you with an unbiased report to base your decisions on.

Technical Specifications

Along with providing roofing inspection services, our roofing consultants can also write technical specifications that define the quality of construction for a re-roofing or roofing project and establish quality contractors to bid the project.

Quality Assurance

Knowing your new roof is being installed properly is a major factor in the longevity of the system. We can also perform quality assurance roofing inspections during installation of the roofing system to ensure the roof is installed according to specification.

Ongoing Maintenance Inspections

We can continue to inspect the roofing system after it is installed to ensure it continues to perform.
