A pre-insulation inspection helps prevent existing defects from being hidden inside a new roof build-up.
Why this matters for properties in Paphos
The visible roof surface provides clues about drainage, movement and previous repairs. Indoor ceiling marks provide additional evidence, but the location of a stain may not be directly below the entry point.
What to inspect before deciding
Check outlets, ponding, parapets, upstands, penetrations, loose materials and transitions between old systems. Note areas shaded by tanks or equipment where moisture may remain longer.
A practical way to plan the work
Turn findings into a written scope: cleaning, repairs, moisture checks, primer, insulation, waterproofing and protection. Separate confirmed work from provisional repairs that depend on opening the surface.
Common mistake to avoid
Covering a defect because it appears small can lock uncertainty beneath the new system. Inspection should happen before pricing is finalised whenever possible.
