Drone Surveys Near Me
Roof Survey
A full aerial look at the roof, condition recorded and photographed, with a written report inside 48 hours.
This is the job most enquiries turn out to be, whichever town they come from: a straightforward look at the whole roof, close enough to see what a ladder or a pair of binoculars from the ground can't.
It suits a sale, a purchase, a routine check before winter, or simply a property nobody has had a proper look at in a while. No scaffolding and no ladders against the house, and a fixed price agreed before the visit whatever the postcode.
What is included
- A full pass of every roof slope and ridge
- Close-up stills of anything that needs a second look
- Chimneys, flashings and valleys covered from the air
- A written report within 48 hours
- Photographs supplied alongside the report, usable for a quote or a sale
What the camera actually catches
The Mavic 4 Pro's 100 megapixel Hasselblad camera resolves detail a pair of binoculars from a garden or a street can't: slipped or cracked tiles, moss and vegetation build-up, flashing that has lifted, and the general condition of ridges and valleys that are otherwise invisible from ground level.
6K video is used where a still photograph doesn't tell the whole story, particularly on a long ridge line or where the concern is spread across more than one slope.
When a thermal check makes more sense instead
If the actual question is heat loss, a damp patch, or where water is getting in rather than the general roof condition, the thermal service reads temperature rather than surface detail, and it's worth asking for that instead, or alongside a standard survey.

Roof Survey questions
- Do you need access to my roof or loft?
- No. The survey is flown entirely from the air, so there's no need for anyone on site to provide roof or loft access on the day.
- What if it's raining or too windy on the day?
- Flights are rescheduled for wind, rain or poor light at no extra cost. It's treated as a normal part of the process, not a cancellation.
