You fly the drone. We report the findings.

Roof Condition Surveys

Visual condition reporting from RGB imagery — slipped or cracked tiles, flashing, gutters, chimneys, membrane condition — without scaffold, ladders, or access equipment.

RGB ONLY

What we check for

  • Slipped, cracked, missing or spalling tiles and slates; moss/lichen lifting tiles
  • Flashing at abutments, valleys and chimneys — lifted, split, missing or corroded
  • Guttering and downpipes — sagging, blocked, disconnected, overflow staining
  • Chimney flaunching, mortar, stacks, pots and cowls
  • Flat-roof membrane condition — tears, blistering, patch repairs, visual ponding evidence
  • Vegetation, debris and any loose material presenting a fall hazard
  • Roof-mounted plant, vents, rooflights and aerials

An example of what you get back

Every finding in every report follows the same structure — location, frame reference, affected area, confidence, probable cause and recommended action, rated Red / Amber / Green. Here's a worked (illustrative) example from this survey type.

Finding 3: Main Roof Plane — Rust Staining at Fastener and Lap Lines

LocationMain roof plane, both principal pitches
Frame referenceDJI_0490 (representative)
Estimated affected areaWidespread across fastener rows and side-laps; not precisely estimable
ConfidenceModerate–High
Severity rating (RAG)AMBER

Observation: A consistent pattern of rust-coloured bleed staining is visible at fastener heads, washers and sheet side-lap joints across the majority of the roof, corroborated across dozens of overlapping frames.

Probable cause: On balance of probability, corrosion of ageing steel fasteners and washers, consistent with a roof of its apparent age.

Recommended action: Recommend a close-access fastener and lap condition check to rule out perforation, and re-fixing as routine planned maintenance.

How the RAG rating works

Every finding on every survey type is rated against the same published definitions, so a Red on one job means the same thing as a Red on the next.

● RedA live risk of water ingress, structural risk, or a safety hazard — flagged for prompt action.
● AmberLikely to progress to failure if left unaddressed, but not currently causing a problem.
● GreenCosmetic or early-stage — worth recording, not urgent.
