Drone roof surveys in Broadstone

A clear look at your Broadstone roof, without the scaffold.

A drone roof survey in Broadstone is often about what the trees are doing to your roof. The BH18 area is leafy and hilly, with mature trees overhanging many of its 1930s to 1960s detached homes, and that shade and leaf-fall causes problems you cannot always see from the ground.

Although Broadstone sits just a few miles from our Poole base, its roofs behave differently to the coastal stock nearer the harbour. Less salt, but far more moss, blocked valleys and damp shaded slopes. A drone lets us inspect those tree-shaded roofs and gutters closely without climbing into an awkward, sloping plot.

Why drone surveys suit Broadstone roofs

  • Heavy tree cover across Broadstone drops leaves into valleys and gutters, leading to blockages, standing water and damp ingress.
  • Shaded, north-facing slopes hold moisture and grow moss and lichen that lift tiles and trap water beneath them.
  • The area's 1930s to 1960s detached homes often have original or ageing roof coverings that are due a condition check.
  • Hilly, sloping plots make ladder access awkward, so an aerial survey is both safer and gives a fuller view.

Drone roof survey Broadstone, answered.

Common questions about drone roof surveys in Broadstone and the surrounding area.

Ask us anything
Why do Broadstone roofs need a different check to Poole?

Broadstone is leafier, more shaded and hillier than the coastal parts of Poole. Instead of salt and wind damage, the main issues are moss, leaf-blocked valleys and damp on shaded slopes, which a top-down drone view shows clearly.

Can a drone show blocked valleys and gutters?

Yes. A top-down aerial pass is one of the best ways to see leaf-blocked valleys, overflowing gutters and standing water that you cannot spot from the ground.

My house is on a steep, tree-covered plot. Can you still survey it?

Yes. Awkward, sloping and tree-covered plots are exactly where a drone helps, because we inspect the whole roof from the air rather than trying to position ladders safely on uneven ground.
