FAQs

  • Drone inspections provide a safer, faster, and more comprehensive view of your roof compared to traditional methods. Using drones, we can access hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or ladders, reducing risk and inconvenience. The high-resolution imagery and videos captured by the drone offer detailed insights into the roof’s condition, allowing for a more accurate assessment.

  • Our typical workflow is designed to be as thorough and safe as possible, while also respecting your time and minimising intrusion. Most projects involve around 6-10 hours of dedicated work for a complete evaluation of the roof. The process unfolds in three distinct stages:

    Pre-Flight Planning:

    Initial planning, risk assessments, and a site survey set the stage for a safe, efficient inspection. This preparatory work is crucial for a seamless and safe operation, ensuring we approach your roof with the right strategy.

    Operation:

    The on-site flight and data collection is conducted within a maximum of 2 hours, minimising disruption to your daily routine. This phase is critical for capturing high-quality imagery and information across your entire roof.

    Post-Production:

    After the flight, we process the captured media and review it to identify any potential issues. Our findings lead to straightforward, actionable recommendations, which are communicated to you to support informed decisions about your roof's maintenance.

    This approach ensures a comprehensive inspection that balances detailed analysis with respect for your time and property. It prioritises safety and a thorough examination of your roof, culminating in direct, actionable advice tailored to your property's needs.

  • Absolutely. Safety is a top priority in our drone inspections. The drones are operated remotely, minimising the need for direct contact with your roof and thereby reducing the risk of damage. Additionally, as CAA-certified drone operators, we adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure that the inspection is conducted responsibly and safely.

  • After the inspection, we’ll process and review the footage and then provide you with comprehensive 4K video and high-resolution photographs of your roof, capturing every detail of its current condition. These visuals will be accompanied by a personalised consultation, during which we’ll discuss any issues or potential concerns identified during the inspection.

    Together, we'll review the footage and images to ensure you have a clear understanding of your roof's status and advise tailored recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance. Our goal is to provide you with a complete overview of your roof's condition and recommend the next steps for its care, ensuring your peace of mind.
