For deacdes we have used ladders to assess roof issues and sometimes, we still do if the roof and access allows. but for the most part, we use drones.
No climbing off ladders into valleys, clambering up pitched roofs to get a closer look at the chimney, potentially causing tile breakages.
Our drone pilots are fully qualified, roof specialists, trained to operate drones for inspections and surveys.
We now work with many estate agents along the south coast providing landlords with full roof reports for their properties without stepping foot on them.
What are the benefits of drone inspection versus traditional manual inspection?
- Faster survey times
- More transparency – the client has unlimited access to imagery and reporting
- With drones, the entirety of the roof can be surveyed, whereas traditional surveys will only inspect areas which can be reached safely.
- Drone surveys can provide greater visibility and coverage, and a more thorough inspection
- No scaffolding needed, which:
- Takes time to construct
- Is expensive
- Requires multiple people to assemble
- Often needs permits/licences
- Is potentially invasive to the building
- Can cause an impact on local residents as it may block or restrict access to pavements, sunlight, etc.
Overall, our drone inspection service offers a faster, cheaper and safer alternative for all your roof survey needs.
