Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up imagery across the main roof fields to identify cracked, slipped or missing tiles, dents in metal roofing, surface corrosion, and worn coatings. On two-storey homes in Belgrave South, this helps pinpoint damage that isn’t visible from the driveway or street.
We examine ridge lines and hip caps for gaps, crumbling mortar, failed pointing and movement that can allow wind-driven rain in. These areas are common leak entry points and can deteriorate faster on shaded roofs that stay damp for longer.
The drone focuses on valleys, roof-to-wall junctions and behind chimneys where leaf litter can build up. Blocked valleys can force water sideways under tiles or into laps, so we document build-up and any signs of ponding, staining or overflow paths.
We inspect flashings around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes and abutments for lifting edges, splits, poorly sealed joins and rust. These details matter on 2 storey properties because small failures often show up as ceiling stains long after the roof defect starts.
We assess gutter runs for visible sagging, corrosion, joint separation and accumulated leaf material, plus downpipe entry points where blockages often start. In tree-heavy parts of Belgrave South, this helps target cleaning and repairs to the worst sections.
Your report includes labelled photos showing defect locations (for example, “rear valley build-up” or “left ridge cracking”). This makes it easier to brief a roofer, compare repair quotes, and prioritise urgent items versus monitoring.

Yes. In Belgrave South, mature trees can drop heavy leaf litter into valleys and gutters, and shaded roof faces can stay damp and encourage moss and lichen. A drone roof assessment lets us check valleys, junctions and gutter lines on a two-storey home without needing to access the roof surface, while still capturing close-up images of problem areas.
We typically capture the overall roof fields and then zoom in on ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, roof penetrations and gutter runs that are visible from above. We also record areas near chimneys or skylights where leaks commonly start. If something is obscured by overhanging branches or dense shade, we note that limitation in the report.
A drone roof assessment can identify likely leak sources such as cracked or slipped tiles, lifted flashings, rusted metal, debris-choked valleys and failed pointing. While the drone can’t see inside the roof cavity, the report will explain how observed defects can allow water entry and what follow-up (such as internal moisture checks or roof cavity inspection) may be sensible.
Often, yes. Many established homes around Belgrave South have tile roofs where bedding and pointing can degrade over time, and valleys can collect leaf litter from surrounding vegetation. On a two-storey roof, these sections are difficult to check safely from a ladder. The drone allows detailed imaging of ridge lines and valleys to highlight cracking, gaps, build-up and overflow pathways.
We prioritise safety and image quality. Strong winds, rain or low cloud can limit safe drone operation and reduce visibility of fine roof details. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling to a safer window. Where a partial flight is possible, we’ll be clear about what was inspected, what wasn’t, and what alternative access may be required.
