What we inspect
What a drone survey shows you.
A drone gets a camera over every part of your roof in minutes, including ridges, valleys, chimney details and flat roof coverings that are dangerous or impossible to inspect on foot. You see slipped tiles, cracked flashings, blocked valleys, moss build-up and storm damage in HD, with no scaffold cost and no risk.

When to book
Where drone roof surveys make sense.
A drone roof inspection is built for moments where you need visual proof, speed and a safer way to see the whole roof. It is especially useful when you need a roof survey without scaffolding.
Buying a house
Independent roof check before you commit, useful for a pre-purchase roof survey when you need clarity fast.
Insurance claims
Dated HD evidence for a roof survey for insurance, with photos that make storm and impact damage easier to explain.
Storm damage
Fast storm damage roof inspection after high winds, heavy rain or fallen debris.
Mortgage survey follow-up
Clarify a roof survey for mortgage notes before you spend money on repairs or negotiate a purchase.
Tall, listed or steep roofs
Inspect safely without scaffold where roof access is difficult, sensitive or expensive.
Solar feasibility
Check roof condition and layout before panels. Pair the survey with our roof-first solar installation advice.

Drone survey FAQs
Drone roof survey questions.
Answers for homeowners, buyers, landlords and insurers arranging an aerial roof inspection across Dorset.
Ask us anythingHow much does a drone roof survey cost?
Drone roof surveys start from £250. The final price depends on roof size, access, report detail and location within Dorset, but we confirm the cost before the survey goes ahead.
How long does it take?
Most drone roof inspections take under an hour on site, with the written summary, HD photos and video usually sent within 48 hours.
Do you need access to my property?
In most cases we only need garden or external access to view the roof safely. No scaffold is needed for the drone survey itself.
Can I use the report for an insurance claim?
Yes. The dated HD photos and video can help support an insurance claim, especially for storm damage, slipped tiles, impact damage or visible roof defects.
Do you survey flat roofs?
Yes. Drone footage is useful for flat roofs because it can show membrane wear, ponding, blocked outlets, splits and difficult-to-reach edges clearly.
What areas do you cover?
We cover all of Dorset, including Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood, Ringwood and Wareham.
