Drone roof and building surveys in West Wales

A closer lookfrom above.

High-resolution aerial images of roofs, chimneys and high-level areas, without the cost of scaffolding or a cherry picker.

Some parts of a building can't be properly seen from the ground. These include high roofs, chimney stacks, flat roofs, valleys and parapets. Our drone lets us inspect these areas safely and in detail, without scaffolding or ladders.

How we use it

  • In a Level 3 Building Survey: where the roof can't be fully seen from the ground, we can include aerial photographs in your Level 3 report.
  • Specific Defect Reports: where a defect is high up, such as a leaking chimney stack or a failing flat roof, we use drone photographs to inspect it and report on the cause and the repairs needed. See Specific Defect Reports.
  • Standalone aerial photographs: if you need to see the condition of a roof or another high-level area, we can photograph it and send you the images, usually within one working day.
  • Element reports: a written report on a specific element, such as a roof or chimney stack, supported by drone photographs.
