A roof report is a written record of the condition of your roof, element by element, with photographs. Ours is produced by an Auckland roofer from on the roof: every element graded Good, Average or Poor, each finding photographed and labelled, a priority list, an indicative cost band for every repair, the life expectancy after repairs and a plain list of what we could not access. It arrives as a PDF, at a fixed fee, and it is yours to use with any roofer, buyer, insurer or lawyer.
A Roof Report in Auckland costs $350 + GST (Standard, PDF within 2 working days) or $450 + GST (Pre-Purchase & Insurance, next working day). Fixed fee, no call-out charge, credited against any repair over $1,000 within 90 days.

A real Manurewa inspection, client details removed
A free inspection answers one question: can we fix it, and what would we charge? That is the right tool when you already own the house and suspect you need work. It is the wrong tool when the person who needs the answer is not you. A buyer, a vendor's agent, a tenant, a body corporate committee or a loss adjuster needs the condition of the roof in writing, with the evidence attached and the urgency and cost spelled out. That is a roof report.
Most Auckland roofers will sell you a report, but on 2 November 2026 we read seven competitor pages and found what buyers complain about: no price until you hand over your details, no sample to look at, no turnaround, grades that are never defined, and a fee that is "waived" if you accept the repair quote. We built ours to be the opposite — the fee is on this page, the sample is a download away, the scale is printed in every report, and the fee is credited, never waived.
Who writes your report. Every Roof Report is inspected and written by our Auckland roofing team, led by our project manager Milton, with the inspector named on the cover. Where Milton inspects, the report carries his licence byline. My Homes Roofing Expert is the roofing business of My Homes Construct Ltd, and the report form is the one the group uses on every assessment.
Milton (Md Mahfuzur Rahman) is a Licensed Building Practitioner — Roofing, LBP BP156965

Fee credit. Book a repair, restoration or re-roof over $1,000 with us within 90 days of your report and the report fee comes off the invoice. It is never "waived if you accept the quote" — the findings do not depend on whether you hire us. Aerial drone photos or video can be arranged on request and are quoted separately.
Our report follows the same two-part roof assessment form we use on real jobs, with the parts customers told us were missing from other reports added: a defined grade scale, a priority list, cost bands and the limitations.
The sample is a real Manurewa roof assessment from September 2025 — a 20-year-old corrugated iron roof with rusted fixings and perforated sheets — with the client's details removed.
📄 Download the sample PDFThree grades, printed in every report with their meaning, so "it will need doing at some stage" never appears.
Sound. No action needed; re-check at the next routine inspection.
Wear or minor defects. Maintenance or a small repair within 12 months.
Failed or failing. Repair now, or replacement recommended; water-ingress risk.
Both put a roofer on your roof. They end differently.

Know what the roof will cost you before you go unconditional. The building report says "visual only"; this one grades every element from on the roof.
A dated, graded report with photos answers the roof question before it is asked, and stops a buyer pricing in a re-roof the house does not need.
One document per property: condition, priority list, cost bands and a re-check date, so maintenance is planned instead of reactive.
An element register and a maintenance budget table the committee can table at the AGM, scoped for membrane, internal gutters and plant penetrations.
Cause, extent and event-versus-wear, with dated photographs, written the way loss adjusters ask for it. Urgent make-safe work recorded separately.
Repair, restore or re-roof? A 20-year-old roof deserves a written answer with the life expectancy and the numbers, not "it will need doing at some stage".
Four steps from booking to a PDF in your inbox.
Choose Standard or Pre-Purchase & Insurance, tell us the address and what the report is for. We confirm within two hours and book the visit; same-day priority is available for settlement and claim deadlines.
One to two hours on site. Walk-on where it is safe, ladder and ground checks elsewhere, roof space and moisture readings on the Pre-Purchase tier. Every element photographed and graded as we go.

Cost, contents, turnaround, buying a house, insurance claims and what happens when the roof is fine.
$350 + GST for the Standard Roof Report, delivered as a PDF within 2 working days of the visit, and $450 + GST for the Pre-Purchase & Insurance Roof Report, delivered the next working day. Both are fixed fees with no call-out charge anywhere in Auckland. Commercial and body-corporate roof reports are quoted per building. If you book a repair, restoration or re-roof over $1,000 with us within 90 days, the report fee is credited against the job.
A walk-on inspection where it is safe plus ground and ladder checks; every element graded Good, Average or Poor (roofing, flashings, fixings, ridges, hips, valleys, penetrations, gutters and downpipes); labelled photos of each finding; a priority list of what to fix now, within 12 months, monitor or leave; an indicative cost band for each recommended repair taken from our published prices; the life expectancy after repairs and whether a new roof is recommended; the access, safety and asbestos notes; and a written list of what we could not access. The Pre-Purchase & Insurance report adds a roof-space check, moisture readings, a junction-by-junction review and an insurer-format summary.
The inspection takes about one to two hours on site for a standard Auckland home. The Standard Roof Report PDF arrives within 2 working days; the Pre-Purchase & Insurance report arrives the next working day, and same-day delivery can be arranged when a settlement or claim deadline needs it. We confirm the booking within two hours and most inspections happen within a few days.
The free inspection is a quote visit: one of our roofers looks at the roof, tells you what they found and gives you an itemised written quote if work is needed. A Roof Report is a paid document you own: every element graded on a printed scale, photographs labelled and located, a priority list, cost bands, the life expectancy and the limitations, all in a PDF you can hand to a buyer, seller, insurer, lawyer, tenant or body corporate. If you just want to know whether we can fix something and what it would cost, book the free inspection. If you need the condition of the roof in writing, order the report.
A pre-purchase building report usually describes the roof in a few lines and is often marked as a visual inspection from the ground. A roof-specific report puts a roofer on the roof, grades each element, photographs the defects and tells you what repairs will cost and how long the roof should last. For a house with a 20-year-old corrugated iron roof, a concrete tile roof with moss, or any sign of a past leak, that detail is what decides whether you negotiate, budget or walk away. Order it as soon as you are serious about a property so it is back before you go unconditional.
Yes. The Pre-Purchase & Insurance Roof Report is written in the format insurers and loss adjusters ask for: the cause of the damage, its extent, which findings are event damage and which are pre-existing wear, with dated photographs and the urgent make-safe work recorded separately. We cannot promise what any insurer will decide, but we can make sure the facts are documented properly.
Aerial drone photos or video can be arranged on request and are quoted separately. Our standard method is a walk-on inspection where the roof is safe to walk, with ladder and ground checks for the rest, because a close look at a lap, a fixing or a flashing finds what an aerial photo cannot.
Corrugated iron and Colorsteel long-run, concrete and clay tile, pressed-metal (Decramastic) tile, membrane and low-pitch roofs, garages, carports and commercial roofs. The grading is the same for every type; the elements we check change with the material, for example mortar bedding and pointing on a tile roof, laps, fixings and rust on a metal roof, and seams and ponding on a membrane roof.
You get a report that says so, element by element, with the photographs to prove it and the date of the next routine check. A Good grade across the roof is a valuable result: it supports a sale price, satisfies a buyer or a landlord and tells you nothing needs spending this year. There is no repair to sell in that case and nothing in the report changes because of it.
Yes, if you want us to. The report itself gives indicative cost bands from our published prices so you can compare quotes from any roofer. If you ask us to quote, you get a separate itemised written quote, and the report fee is credited against any job over $1,000 booked within 90 days. You own the report either way and are free to use another contractor.
“The team at My Homes Roofing Expert completed both exterior and interior painting, along with various repairs. They were professional, fast, and reliable, and completed the work to a high standard. They also had a can-do attitude. During the initial inspection for a quote, they identified the root cause of a drainage issue that a previous contractor hadn't been able to resolve and fixed it on the spot. I would highly recommend them for any work you need done.”
“VERY Professional job from start to finish. Excellent communication so even though I wasn't at home I was sent photos and updates.”
A vendor-supplied report was written for the sale. Commission your own, or at least have a roofer read theirs against the roof.
Nobody can grade a flashing from a driveway. If the verdict is not written, photographed and graded, it is an opinion, not a report.
Most building reports inspect the roof visually from the ground or a ladder and say so in the limitations. The roof is the most expensive single element of the house.
If the fee is only revealed after you send your details, you are being qualified as a repair lead. A fixed fee with the GST position stated is the honest version.
Every roof needs replacing at some stage. A useful report gives a life expectancy after repairs and says what a re-roof would cost in a band.
The report is a negotiating document. Book it as soon as you are serious so it is back before the deadline, not after.

A good roof report answers four questions in writing: what condition is each part of the roof in, what caused any problem, how urgent is it, and what will it cost to put right. Auckland roofs fail in predictable ways. Corrugated iron and older Colorsteel rust first at the laps and around the fixings, where the washers perish and the holes open up. Concrete tiles lose their ridge mortar and grow moss that holds water against the surface. Flashings around chimneys and penetrations are the most common leak source on every roof type. A report that grades each of those elements separately, with a photograph, tells you far more than a single sentence about the roof in a building report.
| Service | Typical Auckland price | What decides the price |
|---|---|---|
| Roof Report (Standard / Pre-Purchase & Insurance) | $350–$450 | Fixed fees + GST; commercial reports quoted per building |
| Roof repair | $150–$1,800 | Leak source, access and how many tiles, sheets or flashings need replacing |
| Roof restoration | $3,500–$12,000 | Clean, repairs, re-pointing and two coats — priced from an inspection |
| House re-roofing | $12,000–$45,000 | Roof area, the material chosen and the condition of the framing underneath |
The report's cost bands are the same published ranges you see on this site, applied to what we found on your roof. They are indicative, so you can compare any roofer's quote against them; they are not a quote. If you ask us to quote, that comes separately, itemised and in writing, and the report fee is credited against any job over $1,000 booked within 90 days.
Both. A pre-purchase building report covers the whole house and is the right starting point. Its roof section is usually brief and often limited to what can be seen from the ground or a ladder, and the report's own limitations say so. A roof-specific report puts a roofer on the roof for an hour or two and grades what the building inspector could only glance at. On a house with an older metal roof, a tile roof with heavy moss, a low-pitch or membrane section, or any past leak, the roof is where the expensive surprises live. Our pre-purchase roof report guide explains how the two fit together, and the roof inspection cost guide covers when a free inspection is enough.
It means we inspect what can be seen and safely reached without lifting, cutting or removing anything. We walk the roof where it is safe to walk, use a ladder and ground-level checks elsewhere, look into the roof space where there is a hatch, and take moisture readings at suspect linings on the Pre-Purchase & Insurance tier. We do not remove gib to check insulation, open up sealed cavities or carry out water testing unless you ask for it separately. Every report lists what we could not access, so nobody reads silence as a pass. If the roof is too steep, too fragile or too wet to walk on the day, the report says which areas were assessed from the ladder or the ground, and we come back for a walk-on when conditions allow at no extra charge.
We are based in West Harbour and inspect roofs across the North Shore, West Auckland, Central Auckland, East Auckland and South Auckland at the same fixed fee. Coastal suburbs get special attention to salt corrosion on metal roofs and fixings; the older tile suburbs get the ridge, hip and valley mortar checked closely. Call 022 501 9921 or order your Roof Report online and tell us what it is for — a purchase, a sale, a tenancy, a claim or simply peace of mind.
