Drone roof surveys &
roof reports in Swindon

Why a drone roof survey beats a look from the ground

Most roof problems can't be seen from the pavement. Cracked tiles on the back slope, failed lead behind a chimney, a split in a flat roof or mortar washing out of a valley only show up when you get above them. Traditionally that meant ladders, roof ladders and sometimes scaffolding just to have a look. A drone gets the same close-up view in minutes, safely, without anyone walking on fragile tiles.

You also get to see exactly what we see. Every report includes the photos, so you're not taking a roofer's word for it. That's the whole point: honest evidence first, then a fixed price.

What we check on every roof survey

• Tiles and slates: slipped, cracked, missing or delaminating, plus moss build-up.
• Ridge and hips: loose or cracked ridge tiles and failed mortar bedding.
• Verges: mortar falling out or loose verge tiles, and whether a dry verge would make sense.
• Chimneys: pointing, flaunching, pots, and the lead flashing around the stack. See chimney repairs.
• Valleys and lead work: splits, slipped lead, blocked or worn valleys.
• Flat roofs: splits, blistering, ponding water and failed edges on extensions, garages and dormers. See flat roofing.
• Gutters, fascias and soffits: blockages, sagging runs, leaking joints and rotten timber. See guttering.
• Inside, where we can: damp stains and the loft side of any leak.

Who books a roof report?

• Homeowners with a leak or damp patch who want the cause found, not guessed. Start with a Drone Roof Health Check.
• House buyers whose survey says "the roof should be inspected by a roofer". Book a pre-purchase roof survey.
• Landlords and letting agents who need a dated record of a roof's condition.
• Anyone making an insurance claim after storm damage who needs photos and a written report.
• Owners of older homes who want to know how many years their roof has left before planning a new roof.
