Frequently asked questions
What does a drone roof inspection include?
A qualified pilot flies a high-resolution camera drone over your property to capture detailed images of the entire roof surface, gutters, flashings, and chimney stacks. You receive a full set of images and a written report highlighting any visible defects, damage, or areas of concern.
Is it as good as a physical roof inspection?
For identifying cracked tiles, missing slates, damaged flashings, blocked gutters, and general wear, drone inspection is extremely effective. It cannot assess internal structure or what is hidden beneath tiles, but for external condition surveys it is faster, safer, and often more thorough than a ladder-based inspection.
Do I need to be on site during the inspection?
We recommend it but it is not always necessary. Access to the property boundary and line of sight to the roof is required. If the property is unoccupied, we can arrange access in advance. We will discuss logistics when you book.
How long does a typical inspection take?
The flight itself takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on roof size and complexity. Processing and report delivery is usually within 24 to 48 hours. The total disruption to you is minimal compared to scaffolding or cherry picker access.
Is drone inspection legal in London?
Yes. Our pilots hold the required CAA qualifications and insurance. We conduct a site risk assessment before every flight and comply with all UK drone regulations including altitude, distance, and airspace restrictions.
