Our residential drone roof inspections provide a safe, detailed assessment of your property without the need for ladders or scaffolding. We inspect pitched and flat roof systems, including tiles, slates, ridge lines, valleys, leadwork, verges and roofline products. Using high resolution aerial imagery, we are able to identify cracked or slipped tiles/slates, deteriorated mortar, damaged flashings, blocked gutters and signs of water ingress. You receive a clear, easy to understand roof condition report with supported images, helping you plan maintenance, support insurance claims or make informed decisions before buying or selling a property

Thermal roof surveys provide an advanced method of identifying hidden issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection. Using specialist thermal imaging equipment mounted on our enterprise drone platforms, we can detect temperature variations across the roof surface that may indicate trapped moisture, insulation defects or potential leak pathways. This technology allows large commercial roofs to be assessed quickly and safely, helping property owners and facilities managers identify problem areas early and make informed decisions about maintenance or repair.

Our commercial drone roof and building inspections provide a comprehensive assessment of offices, retail units, schools, warehouses and multi-occupancy buildings. We inspect metal roof systems, flat and membrane roofs, skylights, fixings, flashings, parapets, gutter systems and service penetrations. High resolution imagery allows us to identify damaged or corroded roof sheets, loose fixings, standing water, membrane splits and blocked gutter systems. You receive a detailed roof condition report with annotated imagery, supporting facilities management, planned maintenance programmes, insurance requirements and asset management decisions - all without disrupting daily operations
