Inspection for damage after storms or extreme weather.
Monitoring the condition of your roof over time for general wear and tear or structural changes.
Inspecting a building’s roof condition before buying or selling a property.
Preventing water from collecting in debris, cracks, or flat roof areas.

Residential Roof Surveys

Our residential drone surveys ensure your home stays secure and that you only ever pay for roofing works that you need. We identify problems and help protect your home from potential issues and prevent them from becoming costly repairs. Since we don’t offer roof repairs, you can be sure that we’ll only identify real issues and avoid unnecessary repairs.

We also offer ‘snagging surveys’, an inspection before you buy a home that identifies any potential issues or problems before you buy.

Commercial Roof Inspection

We provide professional drone roof surveys for factories, warehouses, and large commercial buildings, identifying maintenance needs and potential issues before they become costly repairs.

Our drone technology eliminates the need for scaffolding, minimising health and safety risks and avoiding any operational downtime. Regular surveys may also support insurance or compliance requirements, and we ensure the process is safe, efficient, and cost-effective.

Commercial Roof Inspection

Thermal and Heat Loss Surveys

Our state-of-the-art drones use thermal imaging and infrared cameras to detect hidden heat loss in your home that is often missed by traditional surveys. We assess windows, doors, roofs, and insulation to help reduce energy costs.

For commercial properties, our thermal surveys also identify electrical issues and energy inefficiencies, potentially saving thousands over time.

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, Oxfordshire. 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, Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire. 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, Bristol. Commercial Roof Survey.

Can I use your drone reports for insurance purposes?

What’s included in your drone survey report?

Unlike companies that only provide images or videos, our reports include expert analysis from a qualified drone surveyor and former roofing professional. You’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report highlighting key issues and actionable insights.

How much do drone roof surveys cost in Manchester?

The cost of our drone surveys in Manchester depends on several factors, including the size of the area that needs surveying, the scale of the property, and the complexity of the geometry.

A single-story flat roof will cost around £200. Meanwhile, a large house or commercial property with 5 separate levels with difficult-to-reach areas would require a much more complex flight path with a lot more analysis of the images. This type of drone roof inspection could cost upwards of £800+.

Our commercial building surveys start at £700, but can vary depending on the size of the roof or building that requires inspection, or how many buildings, etc.
