Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We zoom in on ridge caps, bedding and pointing to identify cracks, gaps, lifting, or missing mortar that can allow wind-driven rain into the roof space—an issue that can be missed from street level on two-storey homes.
We check for slipped, cracked or chipped tiles, and for Colorbond sheet dents, fastener issues and lap integrity. This matters because even small breaks can lead to slow leaks that only show as ceiling stains much later.
The drone captures valley lines and box gutters to spot debris build-up, corrosion, ponding indicators and poor falls. We also inspect roof-to-wall junctions where flashing failure often starts around upper-storey wall intersections.
We focus on seal points around penetrations, including cracked rubber boots, lifted flashings and degraded sealant. These are common leak entry points, particularly where penetrations were added after the original build.
Where solar is installed, we look for lifted edges, debris traps, and visible issues around mounting brackets that can affect roof coverings and drainage. We do not test electrical output, but we flag roof risks around the system.
You receive clear images marked up to show exact locations of concerns (for example, the rear valley or a specific ridge section). This helps you brief a roofer accurately and compare repair quotes with less guesswork.

Yes. Many Cranbourne West two-storey homes have limited side access, high eaves and multiple roof junctions over garages and alfresco areas. A drone can photograph ridges, valleys, flashings and penetrations clearly without needing to step onto tiles. You receive images and written findings so you can act on defects early or seek targeted roof repairs.
We capture the main roof surfaces and key risk areas such as ridge capping, hips, valleys, box gutters (where visible), flashings, and penetrations like vents, flues and skylights. If you have solar, we also observe roof conditions around panels and mounting zones. The report includes annotated photos showing the exact location of any concerns identified.
Often, yes, but safety and flight rules come first. If there are nearby powerlines, tight tree canopy or restricted airspace, we plan a safe flight path and may limit certain angles. If the roofline cannot be safely captured, we’ll tell you what is achievable before proceeding. Where visibility is reduced, we recommend complementary checks from accessible vantage points.
They can. Two-storey designs with multiple roof sections often create valleys and, in some builds, box gutters where debris can collect and slow drainage. After windy conditions, leaf litter can build up and contribute to overflow or staining. During the drone assessment we look for visible debris, corrosion signs, misalignment and water-mark indicators, then recommend practical next steps.
Strong winds, rain, and low visibility can affect image clarity and safe operation. If gusts are high or rain is persistent, we may reschedule to ensure the photos are usable and the flight remains safe. Overcast conditions are usually fine. We’ll confirm on the day and, if needed, arrange the next suitable time with minimal disruption.
