What is a Roof Survey?
A roof survey is a detailed inspection carried out to assess the overall condition of your roof before any repair or installation work takes place. It helps identify the cause of faults, damage, or potential weaknesses so the correct solution can be recommended.
As part of the survey, we assess key areas including:
- Roof covering
- Roof structure
- Gutters and rainwater systems
- Felt or membrane condition
- Windows, skylights, and roof details
Once complete, all findings are compiled into a clear report, which is provided to the client along with recommendations and next-step option

Every drone survey includes a full professional report combining high-quality images, video footage, and technical analysis.
