Drone Roof Surveys in Somerset, Bristol, Bath & Devon

A drone survey lets us inspect your roof safely and quickly from the air — close-up, high-resolution photos and video of every slope, ridge and chimney, with no need for scaffolding or ladders. It's ideal for tall, steep or hard-to-reach roofs, and a fast way to get eyes on a problem.

Why people choose it

  • Safe aerial inspection — no scaffolding, no ladders on your roof
  • High-resolution photos and video of the whole roof
  • Reaches tall, steep and awkward roofs easily
  • Quick to carry out and minimally disruptive
  • Clear images you can keep — useful for insurance or records
  • Honest report on what we find, with no pressure

Problems it solves

  • Roofs too high, steep or fragile to walk or ladder safely
  • Suspected damage you can't see from the ground
  • Pre-purchase checks where you want a proper look at the roof
  • Storm-damage assessment and insurance documentation
  • Chimneys, valleys and ridges that are hard to reach

What's included

When you compare quotes, check what's actually in them. Ours include the things that determine whether the job lasts:

  • A flight plan and safety/airspace checks before we fly
  • Aerial inspection of the roof slopes, ridges, valleys and chimneys
  • High-resolution photographs and video footage
  • A clear summary of the roof's condition and any findings
  • Honest advice on whether anything needs doing — and how urgently
  • Copies of the imagery for your records where useful

How we install it

Step 1

Plan & check

We confirm the site is suitable to fly, check the airspace and weather, and plan the survey before we arrive.

Step 2

Survey from the air

We capture close-up, high-resolution photos and video of the whole roof — including the areas you simply can't see from the ground.

Step 3

Review & advise

We go through the imagery, summarise the roof's condition, and give you honest advice on any work needed — with the photos to back it up.

Ideal for

  • Tall, steep or fragile roofs that are unsafe to access
  • Home buyers and sellers wanting a proper look at the roof
  • Post-storm damage assessment and insurance claims
  • Anyone who wants a fast, clear picture of their roof's condition

Options & finishes

  • Standalone drone survey with imagery
  • Drone survey combined with a roof inspection report
  • Follow-up survey after storms or repairs

Important considerations

  • Drone flights depend on the weather — high winds, rain or poor light can delay a survey, and safety always comes first.
  • We fly responsibly and within the rules; some locations (near airports or in restricted airspace) may limit or prevent a flight.
  • A drone survey is a visual aerial inspection — some checks still need a hands-on look, which we'll arrange if the survey flags it.
  • We respect privacy and only capture the roof and property we're surveying.

Drone Surveys — your questions answered

Why use a drone instead of climbing up?

It's safer and quicker. We get close-up, high-resolution images of every part of the roof — including steep or fragile areas that are dangerous to access — without putting anyone on the roof or needing scaffolding just to take a look.

Can a drone survey find a leak?

It's excellent for spotting visible problems — slipped tiles, damaged flashing, blocked valleys, cracked ridges. Some leaks still need a hands-on look to confirm the exact source, but the survey often pinpoints where to focus.

Do you need permission to fly?

We fly responsibly and within the rules. Most domestic surveys are straightforward, but some locations — near airports or in restricted airspace — need extra checks or may not be possible. We confirm this before booking you in.

Will I get the photos?

Yes — where it's useful, we'll share the imagery so you have a clear record of your roof's condition, which is handy for insurance or when buying or selling.
