ᐅ Building Inspector Costs – Due to Cracks at the Roof Overhang

Hello,

The 5-year period is coming to an end, and our roof overhang (flat roof) is showing cracks again. It has been repaired once before. We are considering hiring a building inspector to properly fix the issue.

How much does a building inspector typically cost? Are there standard rates?

For us, around 120 €/h.

Hi, if defects appear on a flat roof, it is essential to take action. The costs depend on what is being inspected. It is recommended to hire a publicly certified expert; the cost may add up to a few hundred euros, but it provides security for the future. Flat roofs can be tricky. It is your house, and you have invested a lot of money in it, so everything should be in good condition. The expense for an expert is definitely well spent. Most of my clients have recouped the fees multiple times over. Often, the issues are minor—believe me, it’s worth it for you. Don’t take any risks and act. Then you can live more worry-free and enjoy your home. It will be fine. Regards from Bavaria

115€ per hour could be accurate. I have been out of the business for 6 years due to an accident, so I am no longer up to date.

OK thanks

Is there an independent surveyor available, or is there somewhere one can contact or should contact?
