Drone Roof Inspections

Are you looking for an accurate, cost-effective roof inspection?

Our service uses state-of-the-art DJI drones that offer the highest quality imagery, perfect for inspecting commercial and residential buildings. We then turn our findings into a clear, easy-to-understand report, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance requirements.

For us, no space is out of reach; no roof is too high and no structure is too dangerous. We can capture images that would be almost impossible to achieve with a traditional manual survey as our feet remain firmly on the ground whilst our drones do the hard work.

Why would you need a drone roof inspection?


There are many reasons why you may be considering a roof inspection for your home or business. These include but are not limited to:

  • Roof leak detection and prevention

  • An ageing roof that may require work

No limits

A traditional survey is limited by accessibility and can only survey areas that can be reached safely. A drone can reach the entirety of a roof to provide a more thorough inspection.

Commercial roof surveys

We provide a commercial roof inspection service that you can rely on. Our commercial roof surveys identify maintenance requirements and potential issues to ensure your building’s safety. This allows you to take preventative measures and avoid significant costs in the future.

You may even require regular surveys on your commercial property to comply with insurance or health and safety requirements. This is even more reason to turn to us as we strive to make this process cost-effective, safe and hassle-free.

Residential roof surveys

We know how important it is to make sure that your home is safe. Our residential roof surveys will identify any maintenance that is needed and uncover any potential issues to ensure your building’s safety.

It will also allow you to take any necessary preventative measures to avoid significant costs in the future.

If you would like a new homebuyer survey, our roof survey service is ideal for a swift, yet thorough inspection.

Listed/heritage building surveys


We also provide roof surveys for listed and heritage buildings. These structures are often complex and sometimes prone to damage. This means that traditional surveying techniques may cause damage whilst trying to access the roof and may only be able to reach the peripheries.

Our drone-led roof inspection service easily bypasses these issues by viewing the entire structure from the air. This helps to protect and preserve heritage assets long into the future.

Easy-to-read reports


Once we have completed our inspection, our team will analyse the data and put together an accurate, high-quality, concise report that is easy to read and understand. This reporting and analysis will include:
