When you have a problem with your roof, it can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive to organise scaffolding and pay an expert to perform a roof inspection. Issues such as storm damage, creating surveys for property sale or insurance claims, or simple regular maintenance inspection can be quickly resolved by drone. They can quickly reach places on your rooftop where people can't, providing photos and video at every angle needed.
Why consider Drone Roof Inspection?
Repeatable recordings
With 'waypoints' we can preset a flight path, save it and then re-use it to create a repeatable aerial roof survey. This means that each time we return we can repeat exactly the same flight path, allowing a side-by-side comparison of changes over time. This is useful for projects that may span a considerable length of time, and may also aid insurance claims.
Accessibility, Safety and Compliance
Drones allow you to safely capture footage of high-risk or hard-to-reach areas without putting anyone at risk. Drone filming is also a valuable tool for ensuring compliance with safety regulations, as it allows surveyors to regularly inspect any work without direct exposure to hazards. This data can also be used to review safety protocols and make necessary adjustments in real time.
Accurate Documentation of Work
Documenting each stage of any roof repair work with drone footage provides a valuable record of the project's evolution from start to completion. Additionally, detailed footage helps verify completed work for potential claims and assessments, reducing risk and enhancing accountability.
Marketing and Promotion
Aerial footage can solve your initial roofing problems, and can then be repurposed for promotional material when you come to sell your property.

Gone are the days of ladders, scaffolding, and the perilous ascents to rooftops. The drone revolution has taken to the skies, changing the very fabric of how residential roof inspections are conducted. The challenges of traditional roof inspection methods—are they thorough enough? Safe enough? Cost-effective?—are being answered with drones. This shift towards aerial inspections is not just about embracing technology for technology's sake but about recognising a smarter, safer, and more efficient pathway to maintaining the integrity of our homes.
In this post, we'll fly through the beneficial breezes drones offer in the realm of roof inspection.
Trained to CAA standards
We hold the A2 C of C certificate, required for commercial flights flying in the "Open Category" A2 subcategory within the UK drone regulations. This allows us to fly legally in more demanding locations, such as built up areas and to fly closer to uninvolved people.
