Dented roofs and loose balustrades
Two handover findings from Sunbury that matter more than a paint touch-up.
In short: Scratched metal roofs and loose balustrades are easy to overlook at a quick walk-through. Both are recorded as major items.
Damaged roof sheets
Dents and scratches through the paint layer on metal roofing can lead to corrosion. We recorded them on more than one Sunbury handover.
Failed sealant
Degraded sealant on roof flashings weakens the weatherproofing and needs redoing before handover.
Loose balustrades
A balcony balustrade that moves when pushed is a fall hazard and must be fixed before anyone moves in.
How we check
The roof is viewed by drone or ladder where safe, and every balustrade is pushed by hand.
