Roof Inspections & Compliance: What Every Homeowner Should Know

A solid roof isn’t just about shelter—it’s a structural asset that must meet safety and building standards. Whether you're selling a home, managing a renovation, or just want peace of mind, a professional roof inspection and certification from Highveld Roofing ensures your property is compliant, safe, and insurable.

Why Roof Inspections Matter

• Legal Compliance: In South Africa, roofing must meet specific standards outlined in SANS 10400 and SANS 10243. Non-compliance can delay property transfers or result in insurance issues.
• Home Resale Value: A certified roof gives buyers confidence, increases resale potential, and reduces negotiation delays.
• Storm & Wear Damage: Over time, storms, leaks, sagging trusses, or missing tiles can compromise structure and safety.

What We Check During a Roof Inspection

Our detailed roof inspections include:

• Truss alignment, spacing & load-bearing integrity
• Underlay and waterproofing layer checks
• Roof tile or metal sheeting condition
• Ridge capping and flashing integrity
• Fasteners, bracing, and connector plate condition
• Compliance with engineer’s truss layout and design specs

Roof Certification: What You Receive

Once the inspection passes, you’ll receive:

• A Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for structural safety
• A detailed report outlining current roof condition
• Recommendations for any repairs or upgrades

Who Needs a Roof Certificate?

• Property Sellers – Required for many real estate transactions

• Insurance Claims – Insurers often ask for a current CoC after storm damage

• New Construction or Renovations – Verifies installation meets structural and design standards
