Check the licence class
QBCC has distinct licence classes for work including roof tiling and roof and wall cladding. Confirm the contractor’s class covers the proposed scope and check current status.
Be cautious with instant diagnosis
A precise repair promise made without inspecting the roof, access or water path may overlook the actual cause. Photos can help triage, but they do not always replace site assessment.
