Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close aerial images to spot cracked or slipped tiles, punctures, dents, loose sheet edges and deteriorated roof coatings. This matters in Aspendale where wind gusts can shift materials and create entry points for wind-driven rain.
We review ridge/hip alignment and look for gaps, crumbling mortar, missing pointing or lifting caps. These failures are common leak starters on taller roofs because water can track under caps and into the ceiling space.
The drone targets valleys, apron flashings, wall/roof junctions and penetrations where corrosion and sealant failure can occur. Salt exposure near Aspendale can accelerate rust at joins and fixings, so these details need clear visual confirmation.
We assess gutter runs for sagging, corrosion, debris build-up and poor fall, plus check downpipe entry points and overflow areas. On 2 storey homes, gutter issues can cause hidden fascia damage and water staining that’s hard to diagnose from ground level.
We examine seals and flashing around penetrations and look for cracked domes, lifted edges and deteriorated collars. These are frequent sources of intermittent leaks after storms and can be missed without a top-down view.
We scan for displaced tiles, missing caps, lifted flashing, loose cowlings and impact damage. This is particularly useful in Aspendale after windy weather, where minor movement can quickly become a leak on the next rain event.

Yes. Aspendale’s proximity to the bay can accelerate corrosion on metal flashings, valleys, fasteners and guttering. A drone assessment lets us closely view these vulnerable details on a 2 storey roof, including areas that are unsafe to reach with ladders. You’ll get image-backed findings that help you decide whether you need maintenance, repairs, or further investigation.
We capture detailed images of roof surfaces, ridge caps, hips, valleys, flashings, penetrations (vents, flues, skylights) and visible gutters. The goal is to document condition and defects that can be seen from above. If an issue suggests an internal leak path, we’ll note it and recommend the next step, such as a targeted internal check or roofer repair.
Often, yes. The drone can reveal early indicators like lifted flashing edges, cracked pointing, slipped tiles, debris-packed valleys, rusted laps or blocked gutter outlets—common causes of future leaks. While we can’t see inside the roof cavity with a drone, image evidence of deteriorated junctions is a strong signal to act before water reaches plaster and insulation.
On older tiled roofs around Aspendale, we pay close attention to cracked or porous tiles, slipped courses, worn ridge capping mortar, and gaps at hips and ridges. We also look for valley corrosion and debris build-up that can trap water. Coastal winds can shift tiles over time, so alignment and bedding condition are key points in the assessment.
We typically need a safe take-off/landing area on your property, such as a clear section of the yard or driveway. We keep the flight focused on your roofline to capture required angles efficiently. If there are tight boundaries or trees typical of established Aspendale streets, we’ll plan flight paths to maintain safe clearance and minimise disturbance.
