📸 What can you survey with a Drone?

A drone roof inspection will give you a thorough understanding of the condition of your roof, including areas that are difficult to reach and out of sight.
With the use of the latest drone technology, we are able to provide you with the following information:

🏚️ Life expectancy of your roof
🏚️ The condition of the tiles on your roof
🏚️ Leaks that are suspected or areas where there may be a future leaks
🏚️ If you have any issues with the roof sagging

You can also have a drone roof survey conducted in order to inspect other important elements of your roof, such as:

🏚️ Chimneys
🏚️ Chimney Pots
🏚️ Flaunching
🏚️ Flashing
🏚️ Parapets
🏚️ Flat roofs
🏚️ Guttering

Can I have a Drone Roof Survey?

Yes, it can be done, but it must be carried out by a professional who is properly trained and who follows all the guidelines that have been established.

Our aerial roof surveys are conducted by a Civil Aviation Authority-certified and authorised drone operator who has also been qualified by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, so you get the best of both worlds with Andrew James Property Surveyors.

Roof Inspection with the aid of a Drone

When it comes to inspecting the condition of your roof, a drone roof inspection is the most effective and thorough method. This report will detail the extent of any damage, repair costs and the cause of the problem, which will make it easier for you to make a claim with your insurance company, plan any repairs you might need, and renegotiate the asking price of a property.

The most significant benefit of aerial inspections is that they are able to be carried out with minimal inconvenience, without the need for scaffolding (which can be expensive) or the need for people to work at height; this makes them safe and a fantastic cost-effective option.

Our highly qualified and experienced RICS-qualified surveyors will use our compact, lightweight drones right up to the areas that need to be inspected in order to capture real-time, ultra-clear 4K videos and high-resolution photos that will show exactly how your roof looks right now.

In this way, we can reach narrow spaces and hard-to-reach areas that might have been missed by a standard roof survey, and, with a high powered digital zoom, we can provide you with a more accurate and comprehensive roof survey at a competitive price.
