Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We fly the drone around the entire roofline to capture consistent, close-range images of each roof face. This helps identify cracked tiles, loose sheets, displaced ridge capping and localized wear that can be missed from the ground—especially on steep or high sections.
Many Clyde North two-storey homes have multiple roof planes meeting over garages and alfresco areas. We focus on valleys and junctions for debris build-up, corrosion, gaps and poor alignment that can push water sideways and trigger leaks during heavy rain.
We visually assess gutters for sagging, blockages, poor fall, separated joints and overflow points. Where box gutters are present, we look for signs of ponding and debris accumulation—issues that can cause sudden internal water entry when storms hit.
We capture detailed imagery around flashings at chimneys (where present), skylights, vents, antenna mounts and roof-to-wall transitions. Small lifting edges, failed sealant lines and poorly finished penetrations are common leak starters and are well suited to drone close-ups.
We check ridge/hip lines for cracked mortar (tiled roofs), loose pointing, lifted caps, and edge detailing for sheet movement or fastener issues (metal roofs). These areas take the brunt of wind and temperature changes and can deteriorate before leaks appear inside.
Your report includes annotated photos of each issue, the likely consequence if left unattended, and a clear priority order (urgent vs monitor). This makes it easier to brief a roofer, compare quotes, and plan maintenance without paying for unnecessary work.

Yes. Many Clyde North properties are newer builds with complex rooflines, multiple junctions and low-pitch sections over garages or alfresco areas. These spots can hide debris build-up, flashing gaps and early drainage issues that aren’t visible from the ground. A drone assessment gives close-up images of the high-risk areas so you can address defects before they turn into internal leaks.
We capture detailed imagery of roof coverings (tiles or metal), ridges and hips, valleys, gutters, box gutters (if present), flashings, and penetrations like vents and skylights. We also look for signs of movement, deterioration and water-path issues such as debris build-up or overflow points. Findings are presented with photos so you can see exactly what we saw.
A drone assessment can identify common external causes of leaks—lifted flashings, damaged tiles, corroded sections, blocked valleys, and gutter overflow risks. It can’t see inside roof cavities or confirm internal moisture levels on its own. If you’ve noticed stains or musty odours, we’ll recommend the next step, which may include an internal inspection to trace the leak path.
In most Clyde North estates, we can complete the flight safely with a planned path and controlled take-off/landing area on your property. We work around fencing, nearby homes and landscaping, and we only fly when conditions are suitable. If wind, rain or site constraints make flight unsafe on the day, we’ll discuss options to reschedule or adjust the inspection approach.
Pricing starts from $75, with the final cost depending on roof complexity, access and the scope required. Two-storey homes with multiple roof sections, valleys and box gutters can take longer to capture properly because we take close-up images from multiple angles.
