What's included

What a drone roof inspection shows you.

A ground-level look only tells you so much. The drone gets within a few metres of your roof, so you can see the problems a roofer would find, without anyone going up.

What I photograph

  • Tiles and slates: cracked, slipped or missing
  • Ridge and hip tiles, and the mortar holding them
  • Chimney stack, pots and lead flashing
  • Valleys, where two roof slopes meet
  • Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits
  • Flat roof areas, dormers and extensions
  • Moss, plant growth and blocked gutters
  • Solar panels and their fixings

What you get

  • Clear, high-resolution photos of every slope
  • Close-ups of anything that needs attention
  • Each problem explained in plain English
  • How urgent each issue is, and what I'd recommend
  • Photos you keep, to share with your roofer, insurer or buyer
Who it's for

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is it safe and legal?

Yes. I hold a CAA Flyer ID, fly under UK Civil Aviation Authority rules and carry public liability insurance. I check the airspace and weather before every flight and keep a safe distance from people.

Do I need to be home?

It's best if someone's there at the start, so I can say hello and check where to take off. If you can't be, I'll arrange it with you beforehand.

What about the neighbours?

The camera stays pointed at your roof. Anything caught by accident, like a neighbour's garden or a person, is deleted or blurred.

Does it replace a roofer or surveyor?

No. It shows you clearly what condition your roof is in, so you know whether you need a roofer and can show them exactly where the problem is. It isn't a structural survey.

What if the weather's bad?

I don't fly in rain, strong wind or poor visibility. If the forecast is bad, I'll move your booking to the next suitable day at no extra cost.

Can I share the photos?

Yes. The photos are yours to keep and share with your roofer, insurer, buyer or letting agent.
