Professional Drone Roof Surveys
Inspecting a roof from ground level does not always reveal the full picture. A drone survey can provide a closer view of areas that may otherwise be difficult to access.
Cleland Roofing Solutions offers drone roof reports to help identify visible defects and assess the general condition of a roof.
Using aerial images, our team can review key areas without immediately requiring scaffolding or other access equipment. As a result, a drone survey can provide a useful first step when investigating a roofing problem.
Detailed Aerial Roof Inspections
A drone can capture detailed images from different angles and heights. This gives our team a clearer view of the roof covering and surrounding features.
Depending on the property, a drone roof survey may help identify issues such as:
- Missing or damaged slates and tiles
- Problems with leadwork and flashings
- Damaged or blocked guttering
- Chimney and roofline defects
- Flat roof deterioration
- Visible signs of wear or damage
- Areas that may require further investigation
Following the inspection, we can use the findings to help explain the condition of the roof and any recommended next steps.
Clear Roof Condition Reports
Where required, we can provide a drone roof report supported by aerial photographs from the inspection.
This can help property owners understand areas of concern without needing to access the roof themselves.
The report can also provide useful information when planning repairs, maintenance or more extensive roofing work.
A Practical Option for Difficult-to-Reach Roofs
Drone surveys can be particularly useful on tall buildings and properties with limited roof access.
They may also help with larger or more complex roofs where viewing every area from ground level is difficult.
However, a drone inspection does not always replace a hands-on roof survey. If we identify an area that needs closer investigation, we can advise on the most suitable access method.
Domestic and Commercial Drone Surveys
We can provide drone roof inspections for a range of properties, including:
- Private homes
- Flats and residential developments
- Commercial premises
- Industrial buildings
- Larger or complex roof areas
- Properties with difficult access
Every property is different. Therefore, we will consider the building, surrounding area and conditions before carrying out a drone survey.
