Skylights and roof flashings can be sources of leaks, we use a ladder for single levels and a drone to inspect the two storey upper levels of the house to try and spot potential problem areas.
The roof and flashings on this property were in good condition and correctly installed.

Poor old Robbie got sent under the house on the job today.
It was a bit wet and muddy and he got his wheels covered in sticky clay, but powered on through to get it done.
Sorry mate but better you than me and ya got some great photos!
At least he got a good scrub up when we got home 😀

Coromandel Harbour looking good today.
Nice drive there and back, but hard to watch the fishos going out early this morning.
Flat as !
