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
Fast, Safe Drone Roof Inspections
Our drone surveys provide a quick, safe and highly accurate way to assess roof condition without the need for scaffolding or physical access. Using high-resolution aerial imaging, we can inspect all areas of a roof—capturing detailed visuals that help identify damage, defects, and maintenance requirements efficiently and safely.
Detailed Reporting with Technical Insight
Every drone survey includes a full professional report combining high-quality images, video footage, and technical analysis. Our team assesses roof coverings, structural condition, and potential defects, providing clear recommendations for repair or maintenance. This data-driven approach ensures accurate diagnosis, helping clients make informed decisions about their roofing assets.
