Canterbury’s established tree canopy and mix of older brick and weatherboard homes can hide roof damage, blocked valleys and gutter overflows—especially on steep, complex 2 storey rooflines that are hard to view safely from the ground.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph the field tiles and ridge/hip cappings to identify cracked, slipped or displaced tiles and deteriorated pointing. On 2 storey roofs in Canterbury, these defects are often missed from ground level but can allow wind-driven rain into the roof space.
We focus on valleys where leaf litter and silt commonly accumulate under a heavy tree canopy. Blocked valleys can force water sideways under tiles and into wall lines, particularly during Melbourne’s sudden downpours.
We assess gutter runs, corners, and downpipe connections for signs of blockage, corrosion, sagging or overflow staining. For 2 storey homes, poor drainage can cause water to track into eaves, fascia and upper-level walls before it’s noticed inside.
We capture close imagery of flashing at chimneys, skylights, roof-to-wall junctions and roof penetrations (vents, exhausts). These joints are frequent leak sources in older Canterbury homes and renovated roof sections.
We look for areas where water may pond or drain poorly—often around box gutters, low-slope sections and complex junctions. Early indicators include debris lines, staining and uneven fall that can lead to repeated leak events.
We provide clear, location-specific photos of defects so you can brief a roofer accurately. This helps avoid vague ‘might be leaking somewhere’ conversations and supports more precise repair scoping for Canterbury 2 storey properties.

Yes. Many Canterbury houses have older tiled roofs, multiple roof junctions, and additions that introduce valleys and box-gutter style drainage. Those areas are hard to check safely on a 2 storey property, yet they’re common sources of leaks and overflow. A drone assessment gives high-resolution visibility of tile condition, flashing and debris build-up so you can act before small faults cause internal damage.
We inspect the roof covering (tiles or metal), ridge/hip cappings, valleys, gutters, downpipe connections, flashing at penetrations, and key roof junctions. We also look for signs of blockage, ponding indicators and displaced materials that can let water in. The outcome is a photo-backed report highlighting defects, likely water entry points, and practical next steps for repairs or maintenance.
Often, yes. The drone allows us to capture angles that show debris build-up, overflow staining, sagging sections, and downpipe connection issues along upper gutters. In leafy parts of Canterbury, gutters and valleys can block quickly, and overflow can travel into eaves and wall lines. While we don’t clean gutters during this service, we can document problem sections clearly for follow-up work.
They can, and that’s exactly why the drone assessment helps. Dense canopy can drop debris into valleys and gutters, and shaded roof areas can encourage moss or lichen that holds moisture and speeds up wear. We use the drone to capture close imagery of shaded slopes, valleys and drainage points to identify where growth or build-up is likely affecting roof performance and where maintenance should be prioritised.
Yes. We separate urgent defects (such as slipped/cracked tiles, compromised flashing, obvious overflow risks and displaced cappings) from maintenance items (like early debris build-up or minor surface wear). With photo evidence and clear notes, you can prioritise spending, plan repairs, and monitor lower-risk items. If you’re buying in Canterbury, it also supports more confident negotiations and planning.
