Roof Space Inspections

What we are looking for:
Insulation amount, installation  method
Ventilation - checking for blockages or damage
Fire Separation - fire resistant walls
uninvited animals - checking that any points of entry and ventilation points are not blocked


Reasons why inspector may not be able to safely enter roof space:
- Fragile or damaged ceiling joists or roof trusses may be unable to support the inspector
- Roof framing is obstructed by insulation making traversing the roof space unsafe because of low visibility for safe foot placement  
- Roof space is inadequate as a result of low pitch roof design
- Electrical hazards
