See your roof without the scaffold.
A drone survey captures every square metre of the roof in high detail. You get a plain-English report, annotated photos and a clear recommendation — ideal for pre-purchase checks, insurance claims and landlord documentation.
Evidence, not opinion.
Every drone survey ends with imagery you can hand to a buyer, a landlord, a surveyor or an insurer.
- High-resolution aerial photography of the full roof surface
- Annotated report highlighting defects and priorities
- Non-invasive — no scaffold, no walking on tiles
- Ideal for pre-purchase surveys, insurance claims and landlords
- Before-and-after documentation on completed work
Our seven-step drone inspection process.
- Step 01
Booking & access

Pre-flight safety check
Weather, airspace and site-specific risk assessment completed before we fly.

On-site drone survey
A qualified operator captures every square metre of the roof — usually 30–60 minutes on site.

High-res image review
Back at the office, every image is reviewed and defects annotated.
- Step 05
Written plain-English report
You receive a report you can actually read — findings, priorities, and photos.

Recommendation walkthrough
We talk you through the findings by phone or video — no pressure to proceed.

For tall, steep, fragile or difficult-access roofs, drone imagery gives complete coverage without the risk or cost of scaffold.
Is drone flight legal for roof inspections?
+
Yes, when carried out by a properly qualified and insured operator following Civil Aviation Authority rules. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: Operator qualifications and insurance].
Can I use the report for an insurance claim?
+
Yes — the annotated imagery and written report are frequently accepted as supporting evidence. Confirm requirements with your insurer.
Do you keep or share our imagery?
+
Imagery is retained securely for our records and shared only with you unless you instruct otherwise. See our Drone Privacy & Imagery Policy.
