How a roof inspection using a drone works
A drone roof inspection starts with a clear brief: which areas need to be photographed, what concern is being investigated and who will review the images. This guide explains the process so you can prepare for a useful inspection.
Before the visit
Send the property address, the type of roof and details of any known problem. Tell us about access restrictions, neighbouring properties and activity on site. We use this information to plan suitable viewpoints and discuss any limitations.
During the inspection
The pilot captures the agreed roof areas from suitable positions while remaining on the ground. Wide views establish the layout, while closer photographs document accessible details such as roof junctions, tiles and chimney stacks. Flights depend on site conditions and weather.
After the flight
The agreed images and video are prepared for review. Your roofer or surveyor can use them to decide where closer investigation or repairs may be needed. Photographs do not prove the source of every leak or replace a structural assessment.
Book the appropriate service
Visit our drone roof inspection service for project enquiries. Send the site address, preferred dates and the images or data you need through our project enquiry form. We will confirm the scope, availability, deliverables and price before you book.
