Roof Inspection Aerial Photography Surveys

A drone roof inspection, or drone roof survey is the process of taking photos of your roof from an aerial perspective.

These photos can be used to confirm the general condition of your external roof coverings, chimneys, vents, flues, skylights and other roof penetrations to give you an idea of any areas of concern.

You might be instructing a drone roof inspection following a leak, or you may be interested in the general ongoing maintenance of your roof.

How Does a Drone Roof Inspection Help?

A drone roof inspection helps by showing your roof in detail, allowing for close inspection of every area of the roof. This can be done from the comfort of your desk, with HD images allowing you to zoom in on the finer details.

Spotting slipped tiles, missing or damaged flashing, failed pointing to chimney breasts, and deteriorating materials is much easier using this process.

Many customers use drone roof surveys to obtain quotes for repairs from roofing companies, ensuring they are comparing like for like..

A drone roof inspection can be backed up by a report on the observations and the overall condition of your roof, which, depending on your budget can be written by a Chartered Surveyor or by another competent professional.

Drone Roof Inspection Cost Variables

The main factors of the cost of a drone roof inspection are the size, and shape of the roof and the choice of whether you want images only, ie a basic observational report, or a full backed condition report with recommendations for remedial action.

Roofs with multiple pitches, dormers, and complicated rainwater goods will always take longer to inspect than a simple pitched or flat roof.

Very large roofs will always be much more involved, requiring careful planning, plenty of time on site, and increased time spent processing photographs.

Calculating Your Roof Area

  • Measure the length and width of the roof area in feet/meters.

  • Multiply these two measurements to get the total square footage (SF) of the roof area

  • This can be worked out using google maps
