Drone Roof Assessment – 2 Storey Property in Bentleigh

Yes. In Bentleigh we regularly see older concrete or terracotta tiles with ridge capping wear, slipped tiles and valley debris, as well as newer townhouses with metal roofing and complex flashings. A drone lets us capture close-up images across both styles, including junctions around extensions and upper-storey roof-to-wall connections that are difficult to view safely from ground level.

We focus on the roof covering and the parts most likely to leak: ridges and hips, valleys, gutters where visible, flashings at wall abutments, and penetrations such as vents and skylights. We look for damage, displacement, corrosion, debris build-up and obvious water-entry points. You’ll receive annotated photos and clear notes on what needs repair, further investigation or monitoring.

A drone assessment can identify likely entry points and visible defects, but it can’t always confirm active leakage without internal checks or testing. If we see cracked pointing, displaced tiles, blocked valleys or lifted flashings, we’ll explain how those issues typically leak and what signs to look for inside. Where needed, we’ll recommend a targeted follow-up inspection to confirm the source.

Yes. Many Bentleigh streets have established trees, and leaf litter often collects in valleys and along gutter runs, especially on two-storey homes where maintenance is harder. During the drone flight we look for debris dams, overflow staining, and areas where water may track back under tiles or into eaves. If cleaning is needed, we’ll note the affected sections so it can be addressed quickly.

Occasionally, yes. Strong winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, or restricted flight conditions can prevent safe operation. Some properties also have tight layouts or sensitive neighbouring boundaries that limit flight paths. If conditions aren’t suitable on arrival, we’ll discuss options such as rescheduling for a safer time or adjusting the inspection scope. Safety and compliance come first.
