Drone Roof Survey
A drone roof survey is a modern, non-intrusive method of inspecting a property's roof using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) — commonly known as a drone. It allows a qualified operator to capture high-resolution images and videos of areas that are normally difficult or unsafe to access, such as:
Chimneys
Valleys and ridges
Flat roofs
Guttering and flashing
Roof coverings and tiles
Key Benefits:
- Safe and efficient – no need for scaffolding, ladders, or cherry pickers
- Cost-effective – often cheaper than traditional access methods
- High-quality imagery – allows for detailed analysis of the roof’s condition
- Quick turnaround – surveys can often be completed in a matter of hours
- Minimal disruption – suitable for both residential and commercial properties
What it can identify:
- Loose, missing, or broken tiles or slates
- Cracked or deteriorated leadwork
- Blocked or damaged gutters
- Signs of water ingress or damp
- Structural damage, sagging, or wear and tear
Drone surveys are often used as part of a wider building inspection or to support maintenance planning, particularly for large, historic, or hard-to-reach properties. They're also a great tool for pre-purchase surveys when the roof is a particular concern.
Do you need a Building Survey?
If you're unsure about the condition of the property, or want peace of mind before committing to your purchase, we can carry out a Building Survey at the same time as your valuation. This detailed inspection is ideal for older, altered, or more complex properties — helping you identify any hidden issues and avoid unexpected costs down the line.
