Why arrange a drone survey?
A drone survey can help you identify concerns early, including:
-
Damaged, slipped or missing roof coverings
-
Blocked, leaking or damaged gutters
-
Defective flashings, valleys and masonry
-
Wear and tear to flat roofs and roof edges
-
Problems with parapets, copings and external elevations
-
Storm damage or areas requiring further investigation
-
General deterioration in difficult-to-access location.
By spotting potential problems early, you have more opportunity to plan repairs, manage budgets and avoid unexpected reactive works.
A safer and more cost-effective approach
Drone surveys are an excellent first step where access is restricted, working at height would be required, or there is uncertainty around the condition of a roof or external structure.
They can reduce the need for preliminary access equipment and help target further investigations or maintenance works more accurately. Where repairs are required, our experienced team can provide practical recommendations and carry out the necessary works.
This makes the process simpler from start to finish: survey, identify, recommend and repair.
