Can a drone survey detect a roof leak?Absolutely. By capturing high-resolution images of your roof's surface, valley gutters, and lead flashings, our roofing experts can easily spot cracked tiles, degraded mortar, or blocked rooflines that are the most common culprits for water ingress.Do I need scaffolding for a roof survey?Not anymore. For inspection purposes, our drone roof surveys bypass the need for expensive scaffolding or cherry pickers. We only ever recommend scaffolding if physical repairs or a new roof installation are required after the survey.Can drones fly in bad weather?For safety and image clarity, our drones require relatively dry and calm weather to fly safely. If high winds or heavy rain are forecast, we will simply reschedule your aerial inspection for the earliest clear window to ensure you get the best possible roof condition report.How long does the aerial inspection take?The flight itself usually takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of your property. We then compile your detailed, itemised report shortly afterwards.To book your drone survey, or to discuss any of our other services such as fascias, soffits and guttering, please call our local team on 01689 663319.
