ROOF AND GUTTERS

When checking your roof after a storm for leaks or cleaning the gutter we recommend using a professional contractor who is trained in working at heights and the safe use of ladders and safety equipment required for these tasks. ROOFING - Damage to your roof caused by storm damage or foot traffic is not covered under the warranty and subsequently does not cover any internal damage caused by these issues. Please have your roof inspected after severe weather, storms or the installation and additions on the roof such as solar panels or repainting of roof tiles. A roof service is done by Boral just prior to handover, ensuring the roof tiles have been installed correctly and are all intact. After handover roof tiles are the owner’s responsibility and are no longer under warranty.

Q. Will my 3 Month Inspection include a roof inspection?

A. As our inspectors do not have the appropriate training or equipment to carry out an inspection on the roof, they will conduct a visual inspection from the ground during your 3

Month Inspection to make sure no defects have occurred. CLEANING GUTTERS – it is your responsibility after handover to clean and maintain the gutters. The warranty for the house does not cover damage done due to blocked pipes or gutters.

Q. is it normal for gutters to hold water after it has rained?

A. yes, gutters can continue to hold small amounts of water after it has rained, this will either drain away or evaporate.

The tolerance for this is 10mm at any point.
