Free Drone Roof Inspections

Some roof problems are hard to see from the ground. A drone gives a close aerial view of the covering, ridges, valleys, chimney flashing and guttering without anyone climbing onto the roof. Free drone inspections are subject to weather, site suitability, safe and legal flight conditions and availability — call to discuss whether one suits your property.

  • Close aerial views of tiles, slates, ridges and hips
  • Valleys, chimney flashing and the top of the stack
  • Guttering and the roof edge
  • No scaffolding or ladders needed for the look itself

Finding the Cause

  • A drone inspection suits roofs that are high, steep or awkward to view, and properties where ladders or scaffolding would otherwise be needed just to look.
  • It is a visual inspection: a drone cannot see hidden defects under coverings, and cannot assess every structural problem.
  • Where a closer look is needed, hands-on investigation is arranged separately.

How the Work Is Done

  • Call or message us to discuss whether a drone inspection is suitable for your property.
  • We check weather, site suitability and safe, legal flight conditions before flying.
  • You see what the drone sees, and we explain anything worth attention.

Repair or Replace?

An inspection does not commit you to any work. If a fault is found, we explain the options and any repair is quoted in writing first.

Common Questions

Is the Drone Inspection Really Free?

Yes, where a drone inspection is suitable for your property. It is subject to weather, site suitability, safe and legal flight conditions and availability.

Can a Drone Find Every Problem?

No. A drone gives a close visual view of the surface, but it cannot see hidden defects under coverings or assess every structural problem. Hands-on investigation is sometimes still needed.

Does Asking for an Inspection Book Any Work?

No. An enquiry is not a booking, and an inspection does not commit you to any work. Any repair is quoted in writing first.

What Happens If You Find a Fault?

We explain what we found and the options. If you want to go ahead, the work and cost are confirmed in a written estimate.
