Roof Inspection Faster, safer and more detailed drone roof inspection

Our roof inspection services

Our drone services are the ideal tool to get detailed reports on the condition of your roof. This way you can ensure that all future repair work is carried out in a cost and time efficient manner. Drone surveys don't require anyone to physically access your roof. This allows for safer and faster data collection without causing damage. Pinpoint analysis of the entire roof allows tradespeople to only access areas that are necessary, drastically reducing safety concerns, future maintenance and budget costs.

Locate Irregularities

Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras allow you to accurately assess the condition of a roof. Infrared photographs can be used to detect extreme temperature differences that can locate otherwise unseen issues, such as concealed moisture damage and heat leakage.

Remote Monitoring

The use of drone 3D modelling technologies gives you the opportunity to inspect a digital twin of a roof from the comfort of your office. This detailed replica can be inspected at a minute level, allowing you to make a record of any areas that are in need of attention. Issues such as poorly executed repairs, general damage and other potential weaknesses can be shared with your employees, suppliers and other shareholders at the click of a button.

Pinpoint Problem Areas

Using 4K ultra-high-definition cameras and zoom lenses we can pinpoint areas that are suffering from decay, cracks, erosion, corrosion and other damage. Enjoy peace of mind in knowing that issues that are causing, and have the potential to cause, serious problems will be found quickly and efficiently.

Details from a Safe Distance

Our drones can capture the minute details of any object, without having to touch or even get close to it. Objects that once had to be shut down, climbed and traversed can now be inspected and monitored in real time more quickly, and with zero risk to personnel.

Why use a drone for your roof inspection?

No scaffolding or ropes

Drone technology is cheaper, safer and more reliable than traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry-pickers and ropes. It's also quicker and less labour-intensive. We will bring everything we need and be out of your way that same day.

Safety

The safety of your personnel and our own is paramount, and we place it at the forefront of our company culture. Ask us about our HSSE systems and practices.

No risk to your assets

Our equipment won't touch or even go close to your assets. Our high-resolution cameras use optical zoom to give extreme close-up views while staying a safe distance away.

Detect hidden problems

We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include 4K ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.

Hard-to-reach spaces

Drones aren't just for flying up in the sky. Our specialist drones can fly into confined spaces like chimneys and boilers to look for issues that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Quick turnaround

We understand that you need answers fast. We can deliver a plain-English report with clear-cut conclusions in days. Then, you can take the steps you need to and get back to doing what you do best.

Cost-efficient

Drone inspections take up less of your manhours and resources than traditional inspections, giving you a faster and more budget-friendly return on your investment.

Real-time consulting

Sometimes the brief can change even in real-time. If need be, you can be stood there right next to the drone operator, directing them as the situation develops.

One drone inspection can pick up all the minor issues that could become big, expensive problems.

Benefits of using a drone...

Traditional methods for roof inspections and surveys are labour-intensive and time consuming. For personnel to climb onto the roof, they have to erect supports. They also have to walk across the roof. The time involved and the risk of liability and injury create unnecessary headaches for a project. Access to certain areas can be risky and sometimes impossible. This means that getting a detailed, high-quality report is unlikely.

Using drones allows you to get far more detailed information about the condition of your roof in a fraction of the time, while keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Our drones can take highly detailed photos and videos from a distance or up close. We capture and analyse every inch of a roof, including hard-to-reach or confined spaces.

Thermography taking the guesswork out of repairs

Not only can your entire roof be seen as the naked eye would, but we can also detect areas of water anomalies with our thermal imaging cameras. Water seeping through a roof isn't only the cause of leaks in the building, but also rot and mould within it. The cost-saving benefits of detecting water damage before it can cause further damage are incalculable. The culprit areas of water damage, heat loss, cold spots, etc. are not usually obvious. Sometimes it's impossible to see them with the naked eye. It's time-consuming and costly to find such defects with "guess and check" methods. It's also not uncommon for these areas to be overlooked in conventional inspection methods. The consequences of this are devastating.

Our Services Not just photos from the sky

Our drones (and our people) can offer a lot more than just HD images. Our team all come from specialist engineering backgrounds, and they use all the very latest drone technologies and capabilities to deliver expert analysis on all types of commercial, civil and industrial assets. If you need an engineer's expertise, next-generation drone technology and industry-leading deliverables, then you've come to the right place.

Detailed, actionable reports

Using state-of-the-art technology, we can find and highlight issues that are hard to find or even invisible to the naked eye. This saves further time in the repair or replacement of roof components. Tradespeople and other personnel on-site can be directed to areas of concern with pinpoint accuracy and with all the information they need. These reports can also be shared digitally with anyone else that may need to examine them. For example, with stakeholders and insurance companies.
