High-resolution 4K drone surveys for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties — clear reports, no scaffold required.
An aerial roof survey uses an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) equipped with a high-resolution camera to capture detailed imagery of your roof from above. Our CAA-licensed pilots fly the aircraft at low altitude, systematically covering the entire roof surface to produce a comprehensive photographic and video record.
The resulting imagery — captured at up to 4K resolution — allows our surveyors to identify defects including cracked or slipped tiles, failed flashings, blocked gutters, chimney deterioration, lead work failures, ridge and hip problems, and any vegetation growth or signs of water ingress.
No ladders, no scaffold, and no operatives working at height. The drone does the work, eliminating the risk of falls entirely.
A drone survey can be completed in a fraction of the time of a traditional scaffold inspection, with no erection or hire costs. Most residential surveys are completed within a few hours.
4K imagery and video captures every element of the roof surface — including areas that would be difficult or impossible to reach safely with traditional methods.
You receive a written condition report supported by annotated photographs clearly identifying any defects, their location, and recommended remedial action.
Drone roof surveys are suitable for a wide range of scenarios:
Most residential drone roof surveys are completed within two to three hours, including pre-flight checks, the flight itself, and initial data review. Larger commercial properties may take a half or full day. You will typically receive your written condition report within 48 hours of the survey.
In most cases, no special permission is required for a drone survey of your own property. Our pilots hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operational Authorisation, and we always conduct a full site risk assessment before flying. If your property is near an airport or in restricted airspace, we will advise you in advance and obtain any necessary permissions.
Your report includes a written condition assessment, annotated photographs clearly identifying any defects, their location on the roof, and recommended remedial action. You also receive the full set of high-resolution images and a video record of the inspection.
Drone surveys require dry, calm conditions with good visibility. We will not fly in high winds, rain, or low cloud. If the weather is unsuitable on the day of your survey, we will reschedule at no extra charge.
