Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up images along ridge lines to spot cracked ridge caps, gaps in pointing, and deteriorated mortar bedding—common leak points on tiled roofs and difficult to inspect safely on 2 storey homes.
We inspect valleys and junctions where second-storey additions meet original rooflines. These areas often rely on correct flashing and clean drainage paths; small installation faults can direct water into the roof space.
We photograph flashings around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes and antenna mounts. Loose collars, lifted edges or aged sealant can allow wind-driven rain in, especially during heavier Melbourne weather.
We check gutter runs for sagging sections, overflow staining, and debris build-up at corners and downpipe drops. On 2 storey properties, these issues can cause water to track back under roof edges and into fascia or eaves.
We look for slipped tiles, impact damage, and uneven lines that may indicate prior patching or movement. Catching displaced tiles early reduces the chance of underlay exposure and water entry.
Your report links images to specific roof zones (front, rear, left, right, and key junctions) so you can brief a roofer quickly and avoid vague advice like “monitor it” without proof.

Yes. Older terracotta tiles can crack, shift, or lose effective ridge pointing over time, and those defects are hard to see from the ground on a 2 storey home. A drone roof assessment in Caulfield South lets us photograph ridge caps, hips, valleys and tile courses in detail, helping you confirm whether issues are isolated repairs or signs of broader ageing.
Absolutely. Many Caulfield South homes have complex roof junctions where additions meet the original roofline. We use the drone to focus on tie-in points, step flashings, valley direction changes and box gutters (if present). These are frequent leak sources because water is channelled into smaller areas, and even minor installation faults can create ongoing ingress.
Yes, where visible. We review gutter runs for signs of sagging, debris build-up, overflow staining and poor falls, and we focus on corners and downpipe drops where blockages commonly begin. While a drone can’t clean gutters, the images help you decide whether cleaning, repairs or improved leaf control is needed—especially on 2 storey properties where access is difficult.
Limited space is common in Caulfield South due to smaller blocks and close boundaries. We’ll assess your site on arrival and choose a safe take-off point such as a driveway, front setback, or clear backyard area. If conditions aren’t suitable (for example, strong wind or insufficient clearance), we’ll discuss alternative options and the safest way to proceed.
Your report summarises observed roof defects and likely water-entry pathways, supported by clear photos of each affected area. We note priority items (urgent vs maintenance) and outline practical next steps so you can brief a roofer efficiently. The photo evidence helps reduce guesswork, supports quote comparisons, and provides a record of roof condition before and after any repair work.
