Residential Roof Surveys

Ideal for homebuyers, post-storm checks, or routine maintenance.

Our residential roof surveys quickly identify any issues with your home, stopping them from developing into severe problems and costly repairs.

For new homeowners, our ‘snagging surveys’ identify problems before or after you buy, helping to prove pre-existing problems and save you from forking out down the line for necessary repairs.

As former roofers, we provide expert and unbiased reports, as we don’t offer repairs ourselves.

What Our Customers Say About Working With Us

  • “I recently had a roof inspection carried out by Alex at Full View Limited. The level of service and quality of work was excellent, and the time taken was so quick in comparison to having to have scaffolding erected so that a survey could be done. The images and reporting were amazing, and any work that was required was so clearly defined."

    "The result being that any contractor I employ can see immediately what has to be done. I would not hesitate to recommend Full View Limited for such professional and competent work carried out."

    - Edna Kaye, Carterton. Residential Roof Survey.

  • “I contacted Full View as I was concerned I had a leak in my roof. After a quick phone call, Alex was able to get out to me within a day. Within a few hours of coming to my property, he sent over a detailed report which identified where the issue was on the roof. I was able to use this report to give to my insurance company, which assisted with getting the issue progressed and resolved far quicker than other insurance claims I have made in the past. It was also really helpful to pass on to the roofing company, who then resolved the issue.”

    “I couldn’t recommend Full Views services enough; it really supported me in the remediation of my roof. Can’t thank you enough!”

    - Daniella Howells. Residential Roof Survey.

  • “We came across Alex and Full View when we were looking to get some of our managed properties' roofs surveyed. Alex was great from start to finish, and the reports produced were exactly what we needed to make a clear proactive maintenance plan with regards to roof works!”

    We’ll certainly be using Full View for some of our other properties moving forward!”

    - Brad Clark. Commercial Roof Survey.

    FAQs

    Do you have permission to fly your drones in Birmingham?

    Yes. We operate under CAA authorisation, with permissions for CTR/FRZ near Birmingham Airport and city centre “Film Birmingham” clearance.

    Can I use your drone reports for insurance purposes?

    Absolutely. Our drone reports are accepted as evidence by the majority of insurers and help speed up claims.

    What data can your drones capture?

    Our drones use 4K optical cameras and powerful lighting to capture high-definition visuals, even in low light. We also offer thermal imaging surveys that detect issues invisible to the naked eye and can generate 3D property models using advanced software.

    How long do your drone surveys take?

    Residential surveys typically take 1 - 3 hours, depending on the size and how complex the layout of your roof is. Commercial surveys vary, from half-day to full-day, again, based on the size and complexity of the area that needs surveying.

    What’s included in your drone survey report?

    Unlike companies that simply take pictures, our reports include expert analysis from former roofing professionals. You’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report highlighting key issues and actionable insights.

    How much do drone roof surveys cost in Birmingham?

    The price of our drone surveys varies depending on several factors such as the size of the area to be surveyed, the complexity of the building’s structure, and the overall scale of the property.

    Our residential drone surveys typically start at £400+VAT because we use the highest quality drones, imaging software and data analysis, as well as give you our experienced and expert roofing analysis that comes from a background in roofing.

    Drone surveys for commercial properties usually start at £700+VAT but can become more expensive for bigger warehouses with complex geographies!

    Add-ons like thermal imaging and 3-D modelling start at around £150+VAT.
