Cranbourne East has plenty of modern two-storey builds with tiled roofs, valleys and box gutters that can hide early leaks after heavy rain and wind. A drone assessment checks these high-risk roof zones without climbing over steep pitches or navigating tight side access common in newer estates.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up images to identify cracked, slipped or displaced tiles, loose sheet fixings, and surface deterioration that can lead to leaks on two-storey roof pitches where defects are hard to spot from ground level.
We check ridge lines for separation, gaps and early failure of pointing. On many Cranbourne East tiled roofs, movement and weather exposure can open hairline gaps that let wind-driven rain in before it becomes an obvious ceiling stain.
We focus on valleys and box gutters where leaf litter and roof grit can build up, slowing flow and causing overflow. These areas are common sources of hidden water entry on modern multi-hip roof designs.
We inspect flashings at chimneys (where present), vents, flues, skylights and roof-to-wall junctions. Small lifting edges, poorly seated aprons or sealant breakdown can cause intermittent leaks that only appear during heavier rain.
We look along the perimeter for sagging gutters, misaligned fascia, staining at eaves, and overflow marks. These signs can indicate blocked downpipes or incorrect falls—issues that can damage eaves and internal ceilings over time.
Where solar is installed, we check panel placement, cable routing visibility, and roof areas around mounts for disturbed tiles/sheets. This helps flag potential entry points created during installation or later maintenance.

Yes. Many Cranbourne East two-storey homes have complex rooflines with multiple valleys, penetrations and tiled ridges that are hard to assess safely from the ground. A drone allows close visual checks of ridge capping, flashings, gutters and common leak points without needing roof access. It’s especially helpful where narrow side setbacks make ladder placement difficult.
A drone assessment can capture clear evidence of cracked or slipped tiles, lifted ridge capping, rusting or damaged flashings, blocked valleys, sagging gutters, and overflow staining along eaves. We also look for signs of previous patching, debris build-up and potential entry points around penetrations. The report links each finding to practical next steps.
You don’t need to be home as long as we have safe access to the yard and a clear understanding of property boundaries. Most drone roof assessments for a 2 storey home take around 20–45 minutes on site, depending on roof complexity and weather. We’ll confirm flight conditions first and avoid flying near people, pets and neighbouring yards.
We prioritise valleys, box gutters (if present), gutter joins, downpipe drop points and any roof sections that funnel water into narrow drainage paths. After heavy rain, these areas are more likely to show debris build-up, ponding marks or overflow staining along eaves. We also check flashing lines where wind-driven rain can push water under lifted edges.
Yes. We can visually assess roof areas around solar panel mounts and nearby tiles/sheets for disturbance, gaps and debris accumulation. While a drone assessment doesn’t replace an electrical test, it is effective for spotting roof-entry risks created by mounting hardware, cable routing exposure, or cracked tiles around the array. We document clear images for follow-up with a roofer or solar technician.
