Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up imagery across main roof planes to identify cracked or slipped tiles, lifted edges, surface deterioration, and early corrosion on metal roofing. These defects often start on exposed ridges and windward faces and can allow water to track under sarking.
We inspect ridge caps and hip lines for separated pointing, mortar breakdown, and misalignment. On 2 storey roofs, small failures at high points can send water into the roof space and cause staining that’s expensive to trace later.
We focus on valleys and junctions where leaf litter collects—common in Belgrave Heights due to surrounding canopy. Build-up here can dam water and force it under tiles or into flashing laps during heavy rainfall.
We image around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, solar mounts and wall flashings to spot lifted edges, gaps, sealant failure and rusting. These are frequent leak points and can be difficult to assess accurately from ground level.
We assess gutter runs for sagging, debris load, staining, and signs of overflow at corners and downpipe dropper points. Blocked gutters on a 2 storey property can lead to fascia damage and water run-back into eaves.
We document factors that affect maintenance on Belgrave Heights sites—steep pitch sections, fragile tiles, tight clearances, and access constraints from sloping blocks—so you can plan safe, cost-effective repairs or cleaning.

Yes. In Belgrave Heights, overhanging trees can fill valleys and gutters with leaf litter and hide cracked or slipped tiles. A drone survey lets us photograph debris hotspots, valley lines, and gutter runs from above, so you can see where water is likely to back up during heavy rain. It’s especially helpful on two-storey roofs where those areas aren’t visible from the ground.
We prioritise the areas most likely to leak or fail: ridge capping and pointing, hips, valleys, flashings around penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys), and gutter/downpipe entry points. We also scan the main roof planes for cracked, slipped or deteriorated tiles and any signs of corrosion on metal sections. Photos are taken to support each finding in the report.
A drone assessment is excellent for external roof condition, drainage points and flashing detail, but it doesn’t confirm internal moisture paths, insulation issues, or timber condition inside the roof space. If there are signs of active leaking, staining, or you’re purchasing a property and want a broader risk picture, we can recommend pairing the drone roof assessment with a more comprehensive building inspection.
Steep blocks are common in Belgrave Heights and can make ladders and scaffolding impractical or unsafe. That’s where drone imaging shines: we can inspect high and awkward roof sections without needing to set up on sloping ground. We’ll still need a clear take-off/landing area and we’ll plan the flight to avoid trees and structures while capturing the angles needed for valleys, ridges and gutters.
You’ll receive a written summary of roof condition supported by clear photos, with key defects and risk areas identified (for example, cracked tiles, failed pointing, rusting flashings, or blocked gutters). We include practical next steps so you can decide whether to arrange cleaning, targeted repairs, or further investigation. If urgent issues are visible, we’ll flag them clearly in the report.
