Brighton East homes often combine older rooflines with newer second-storey additions, plus leaf build-up from established street trees and coastal weathering from nearby Port Phillip Bay—our drone scan helps spot issues you can’t see from the ground.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close imagery along ridge capping and hip lines to identify cracked mortar, loose pointing, and displaced caps that can let wind-driven rain in—common after seasonal gusts in bayside Melbourne.
Valleys and junctions are prime leak points on 2 storey rooflines, especially where older sections meet extensions. We check for leaf build-up, corrosion, and tile laps that can channel water into the roof space.
We assess upper gutters for sagging, overflowing signs, and blocked outlets. This matters in Brighton East where tree canopy can quickly fill gutters and cause water to back up under tiles or behind fascia.
Using drone angles that mimic rainfall pathways, we examine apron and step flashings, sealant breakdown, and lifting edges around penetrations—areas that often fail first on renovated 2 storey homes.
We look for slipped or cracked tiles, exposed underlay lines, and sheet roof fastener problems. These defects can be hard to see from ground level but can drive ongoing moisture entry in heavy rain.
Your report includes annotated images showing the location and nature of defects. This makes it easier to brief a roofer or plumber, compare quotes, and avoid paying for vague “allowances” on a 2 storey roof.

Yes. Brighton East homes often have older roof sections joined to newer second-storey additions, which creates complex junctions, valleys, and flashing lines. A drone assessment gives close visual access to these areas without walking the roof. We can flag lifted flashings, debris build-up, cracked pointing, and drainage issues that commonly appear where new and old construction meets.
We assess roof coverings (tiles or sheet metal), ridges and hips, valleys, gutters where visible, downpipe inlets, and common penetration points like chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes. The drone also helps us check transitions between levels and hard-to-reach edges. Findings are documented with photos so you can see exactly where defects are located.
We do both. The report notes observed defects and explains how they can allow water entry based on roof pitch, junction design, and nearby drainage points. For example, a small crack at ridge pointing may be low risk, while valley debris or a lifted step flashing at a wall junction can be higher risk in wind-driven rain. We prioritise issues so you can act quickly.
Yes. Leaf litter and twigs can collect in valleys, behind chimneys, and at gutter outlets, especially on 2 storey rooflines where maintenance is harder. During the drone flight we focus on known debris traps and look for signs of overflow, ponding, and corrosion. If vegetation is contributing to blockage risk, we’ll note practical next steps such as cleaning frequency and gutter guard considerations.
They can be. Strong winds and rain reduce flight stability and image clarity, so we schedule flights for safe conditions. If weather changes on the day, we’ll discuss options and reschedule as needed to ensure you get useful, close-up images rather than blurry or incomplete coverage. Safety and reliable visual evidence come first.
