Roof Space Assessment
Understand the space
above your ceiling.
Considering insulation or ventilation changes? I can record the accessible roof space and explain the observations and readings, so the next decision starts from something measured.
Access and suitable footing are checked before booking. Nothing is paid here.
When this may help
Three reasons people start here.
You are planning insulation or ventilation work
Before you buy anything, a record of what is up there.
A room is hard to keep comfortable
And you want the space above the ceiling considered rather than guessed at.
You want a record of what is up there
Accessible conditions above the ceiling, written down and dated.
What is included
What your assessment
brings together.
Visible insulation
Photographs of the coverage and of any visible gaps or displacement, recorded without moving the insulation.
Selected locations
Moisture readings and photographs at agreed accessible points, with the locations recorded.
The surrounding conditions
Visible ventilation features and the relevant visit context. Environmental measurements and thermal imagery are included only where the equipment, the method and the conditions support them.
Your focused report
The recorded evidence, my explanation, the access limitations and the next useful step.
What goes into the report
A location, an observation,
and its limit.
Every entry in the report carries three things: where it was, what was recorded there, and what the record does not cover.
Where in the roof space it was, described so it can be found again on a later visit.
What was photographed or measured at that point, recorded as an observation rather than a conclusion.
What could not be reached or seen from there, and what would be needed to cover it.
Media note for this page is unresolved: the current hero shows a readable instrument display, which is not published as a finding. A cleared contextual image is needed before this page carries a hero photograph.
Alongside a Baseline
The Baseline does not go into the roof space.
The core Baseline stops at the ceiling. This assessment adds the accessible area above it from $650 inc GST, whether arranged on its own or alongside a Baseline.
How it works
Three steps.
A few details help me understand the question you want answered.
I review your enquiry and confirm suitability, access, what is included and the total price in writing before booking.
After the visit I explain the report and the recommended next step. Most reports are done within three business days.
Enquire
Tell me about your roof space
Three quick steps. You do not need to go up there to answer any of them.
Step 1 of 3
What brings you here?Choose as many as apply.
Step 2 of 3
Do you know of a roof-space access hatch?Choose as many as apply.
You do not need to climb up, open the hatch or enter the roof space to answer. I confirm access and suitability before booking.
It helps me work out the order I come back to people in.

Before you enquire
Questions and boundaries.
Do I need to get into the roof space first?
No. Answer only what you already know from standing in the house. Checking access and footing is my job.
Will you walk on the ceiling?
No. I do not walk on ceiling linings and I do not move insulation. Footing goes on structural framing only, and if there is no safe footing the area is recorded as a limitation.
Why does the time of day matter?
A roof space at 8am and the same roof space at 3pm are two different measurements. I schedule for the conditions rather than for convenience, and the report records the conditions on the day.
Can you measure the ventilation?
I record the visible ventilation features. A measured airflow rate is a different instrument and is arranged separately.
What changes the price?
$650 is the minimum, and it covers a standard accessible roof space. A bigger space, more access points to work through, or more measuring than the standard all move it. I work it out against the house and confirm the total in writing before anything is booked.
What sits outside this assessment?
It does not establish the condition of every part of the roof or the cause of concealed water entry. Structural adequacy, pests, biological identification, installation work and repairs all sit outside it.
