What the roof space tells you about an Officer home
Why the inspector climbs into the roof, and what turns up there.
In short: Some of the most useful pre-purchase findings are above the ceiling.
Bracing straps
We have found roof bracing straps slack and not nailed off at every truss.
Leaks
Stains on timbers and sarking point to past or current leaks, often from cracked tiles.
Insulation
Gaps and displaced batts show up here too.
Access
If the hatch is blocked or unsafe, the report says what could not be seen.
