What A Roof Survey Actually Delivers
A flight will show you cracked flashing, lifted tiles and standing water. It will not tell you what the deck underneath is…

Send us an address and what you need to see. We clear the airspace, fly the site and hand back finished stills, clips and maps.

Drone Services began in a garage on Maplewood Lane with one folding quadcopter and a roofing contractor who was tired of climbing. Ten seasons on, we are still a small crew, and we still answer our own phone.
Every job starts the same way: you tell us the address and what you need to see. We check the airspace, book a window that suits the light, and fly it. You get finished files, not a hard drive full of clips to sort through yourself.
About UsSix things people call us for. If your job sits between two of them, say so on the phone and we will price it properly.
Overhead stills, a lot-line reveal and a short walk-around clip.
Read moreThe same frame, the same altitude, every month of the pour.
Read moreClose-range stills of flashing, valleys, gutters and parapets.
Read moreGrid flights turned into one flat, measurable image.
Read moreHeat loss, dead strings and warm bearings, paired with daylight.
Read moreOne high pass for the crowd, one low pass for the venue.
Read moreWe do not fly one drone at everything. The payload decides which case comes off the shelf, and we tell you which one is coming before the day.
Four steps, in this order, every single booking. Nothing here is a surprise on the day.
Drop us the location and a line about what you need to see. Photographs of the site from the ground help more than you would think.
We check the class of airspace over your site, file for authorisation where it is required, and tell you straight away if a spot is restricted.
The pilot walks the site, sets a launch point and briefs anyone working nearby. Most jobs are wheels-up and packed away inside two hours.
Colour-corrected stills and cut clips arrive by download link, sized for whatever you plan to do with them. Raw footage on request.
“They flew a listing that had sat quiet for two months. The lot finally made sense to buyers once they could see the tree line, and we had three viewings that week.”

One site, one visit, finished files.
For multi-site jobs and survey work.
Both packages include the pilot, the aircraft, the insurance and the editing. There is no separate call-out charge and no mileage line inside our service area.
Thermal work, repeat monthly visits and anything needing a survey-grade map are quoted per site. Call and describe the job — we would rather price it once, properly, than guess.
Ask any operator for these four things before you book them. We keep ours to hand and will send copies over with the quote.
Every person who touches the controller on your site holds a current remote pilot certificate under Part 107.
Public liability cover runs on all commercial flights. Your site office can have the certificate before we arrive.
Controlled airspace requests are filed before the day, not on the tailgate. If a window is refused, you hear it from us first.
A written pre-flight check on every launch, plus a short verbal brief to anyone working within the flight area.
Short pieces on what a flight can and cannot tell you, written for the people who hire us rather than for other pilots.
