The added weight of solar panels— or any post-construction addition— can impact the integrity of your roof structure.

Skipping this crucial step can:
❌Void your roof’s compliance ❌Cause hidden structural damage ❌Put your safety and investment at risk

✅ A professional pre-solar inspection survey before installation helps prevent costly mistakes and ensures your structure stays compliant.

Don’t take chances — inspect before you install.

Don’t Assume It’s Done Right!

Roof joints must be detailed correctly. Proper overlap, correct bolt placement, and adequate fastening ensure safe load transfer and long-term structural integrity. Small connection details make a big difference in roof performance.

That’s exactly the kind of detail a professional inspection will uncover.

Buying a house? Hidden roof defects can cost you.

A property may look perfect on the surface, but structural issues in the roof space often go unnoticed — until it’s too late. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure the roof structure is professionally inspected. A small step now can protect you from major repair costs later and give you real peace of mind in your investment.
