See Your Roof Without the Scaffolding Bill
Here's the problem with roof inspections: just getting up there costs a fortune. Scaffolding alone can run £500-£1,000+ before anyone even looks at a tile. And even then, they can only walk on certain areas safely.
💡 Pro tip: A drone inspection is the smart first step before any roof work. Know exactly what needs doing before committing to scaffolding costs.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Thinking of selling?** A drone roof report gives buyers confidence and can prevent nasty surprises during surveys. Some sellers include them in their home information pack. **Combine with thermal imaging** for the full picture - visual inspection shows surface damage, thermal reveals hidden moisture and insulation problems beneath. **Exeter's older properties** - Victorian and Edwardian homes across Heavitree, St Leonard's, and the city centre often have complex rooflines with valleys, dormers, and multiple chimney stacks. Drone inspection covers it all in one visit.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drone roof inspection in Crediton
What can a drone actually see on my roof?
Everything. We capture high-resolution photos and 4K video from every angle - individual tiles, ridge lines, flashings, mortar, lead work, valleys, gutters, and chimneys. The camera zooms in close enough to spot hairline cracks. You'll see things you'd never spot from the ground.
Is it as good as someone physically getting on the roof?
In many ways it's better. A drone can hover and inspect areas that are dangerous or impossible to walk on safely - valley gutters, steep pitches, fragile tiles. You also get a permanent photographic record. The only thing a drone can't do is lift a tile and look underneath - but thermal imaging can reveal what's hidden.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most standard houses take 45 minutes to an hour of flight time, plus setup and report time. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. You'll usually have your photos and report same day.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily - we just need clear access to launch from your garden or driveway. But most people like to see the live feed and discuss what we find on the spot.
Will it disturb my neighbours?
The DJI Matrice 4 is surprisingly quiet for a commercial drone. Flights are short (under an hour typically) and we stay within your property boundary as much as possible. We always notify immediate neighbours as a courtesy.
