Bingley Roof Consulting
Trading name of ELYAS JASON BINGLEY (business names: Bingley Roof Consulting, Bingley Company, E.JS Property Maintenance) · Sydney, NSW
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
Bingley Roof Consulting holds a perfect 5.0 across 33 Google reviews, and what struck us most is a strength most roofers don't lead with: independent roof inspection and reporting. When we read through the reviews, client after client describes detailed video walkthroughs, high-resolution photos (sometimes shared via a Google Drive link) and clear written reports — used for pre-purchase inspections that helped buyers negotiate, and to give builders the evidence they needed to fix defective work. The founder brands himself 'The Leak Detective', and honestly, the reviews back that up: this is who you'd call to get a straight answer on what's wrong with a roof and what actually needs doing.
The second thing that kept coming up for us is honesty and no upselling — 'honest' is one of the most-repeated words in the reviews, and plenty of clients mention being told what did and didn't need fixing rather than being sold work. He does hands-on repairs too (leak and flashing repairs, temporary make-safe fixes, general maintenance), and the firm's own site lists the full residential range including restorations and re-roofs. We also noticed builders and real-estate agents recommending him in the reviews, which says a lot about the quality of the reporting and advice.
To be upfront about the limitations: they come down to brand age, scale and scope. The Bingley Roof Consulting name is very new (registered Dec 2025), it's a one-person sole-trader operation ('every job is personally overseen by Elyas', per the site), and almost all the reviews are recent and clustered in early 2026 — so the track record under this brand is short, even though the founder has several years on the register through his earlier EJs trading names. What's genuinely proven is the inspection, reporting, repair and consulting work; the site advertises full re-roofs and restorations as well, but we found less independent review evidence of large replacement projects, so for a major re-roof we'd ask directly about comparable jobs. One more thing worth knowing: the firm says it covers both Greater Sydney and Greater Hobart, which is an ambitious spread for a solo operator to service quickly.

Who you'll actually deal with
Elyas Bingley — owner-operator ('The Leak Detective')
This is unambiguously a one-principal business built around Elyas Bingley, who founded it and is named in the large majority of the reviews. His own About page says he is 25, based in Blacktown, previously ran EJs Roofing and Plumbing and EJs Property Maintenance, and started Bingley Roof Consulting out of frustration with industry overselling — and the public ABN confirms he holds it as a sole trader. Reviewers consistently single him out for honesty, patient explanations and thorough reporting; one review specifically praises how respectfully and clearly he dealt with elderly homeowners, which speaks well of the personal, non-pushy service.
Because it's an owner-operator setup, the relationship, the inspection and the advice all run through Elyas personally — which is the source of the firm's strongest praise but also its main practical constraint. A few reviews mention 'Elyas and his team', so there is help on jobs, but capacity and scheduling ultimately depend on one person, and the firm's stated Sydney-plus-Hobart coverage is a lot of ground for a solo principal — worth confirming availability and timelines directly for anything time-sensitive.
What clients say
In their own words
We had to engage Bingley Roof to find a persistent roof leakage. Elyas was very responsive and quick to attend the site. The video report was thoroughly and we were able to get back to the builder with the evidence and have them rectify the job.
We recently engaged Bingley Roof Consulting to do a roof inspection and roof repairs for our property and highly recommend. They provided photos and video explanation which was easy to understand.
Used Elyas to inspect our roof as we have a heap of issues with it. He provided some honest and excellent recommendations on how to rectify the issues. Thank you Elyas
The recurring themes are thorough, easy-to-understand inspection reporting (video and photos), honest no-upsell advice, fast same-day response, and reliable repair work — nearly all crediting the founder, Elyas.
Best for
- Pre-purchase or dispute-related roof inspections where a clear, documented report (video, photos, written) is the main goal
- Leak detection, flashing repairs and honest remediation advice from someone who explains the problem without pressure or upselling
- Homeowners, builders and real-estate agents who value dealing directly with a diligent owner-operator across Greater Western Sydney
Less suited for
- Large full-replacement or re-roofing projects, where the review evidence is thinner than for inspections and repairs — ask directly about comparable jobs and capacity
- Buyers who want a long, established track record or a second independent review platform — the Bingley brand is new (Dec 2025) and Google is the only verifiable source
- Anyone needing guaranteed fast turnaround across a very wide area, given it's a sole-trader operation the site says covers both Sydney and Hobart
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your site markets both roof inspections and full re-roofs — for my job, can you share examples of comparable work you've completed under Bingley Roof Consulting?
- What is your current NSW roofing/building licence number, and does it cover the specific work (repair or replacement) on my property?
- Can you provide a certificate of currency for your public liability and workers' insurance before any work starts?
- For an inspection, what exactly does the report include (video, photos, written findings), and is it suitable for a pre-purchase or a builder dispute?
- As a sole-trader operation covering Sydney and Hobart, what's your realistic availability and timeline for my job, and who is my contact if you're delayed?
Bottom line
If you need an inspection, a leak found or a repair done honestly, we'd happily point you to Elyas Bingley ('The Leak Detective') — his reviews are full of praise for clear reporting, no-upsell advice and reliable repairs. Just keep in mind it's a very new brand and a one-person sole trader, so confirm licensing, insurance and capacity directly, especially for any large replacement work.
