Cranbourne’s newer two-storey estates often have tiled roofs with valleys that trap leaf litter from nearby street trees, plus wind-driven rain that tests flashings. A drone assessment helps you see issues early without climbing.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close imagery across each roof plane to identify cracked tiles, slipped tiles and impact damage. On 2 storey Cranbourne homes, even small displacements can let wind-driven rain track under the covering and show up as damp patches upstairs.
We examine ridge and hip lines for deteriorated mortar, missing pointing and signs of movement. Ridge defects can loosen tiles over time and create entry points for water, particularly where roof lines meet and take the brunt of weather.
Valleys are common leak zones on multi-hip roofs. The drone allows us to see leaf litter build-up, staining, and potential corrosion or lifting along metal valleys, helping you address drainage issues before they overflow into the roof space.
We assess flashings and seals at penetrations such as flues, vents and skylights for gaps, lifted edges or poor overlaps. These junctions often fail first because they rely on tight detailing rather than the main roof covering.
We visually check accessible gutter runs for heavy debris, sagging sections and overflow marks at fascia lines. Blocked gutters can force water back under eaves and into wall cavities, which is harder and more expensive to diagnose later.
Your report includes annotated images that show the defect and its position on the roof layout. This makes it easier to brief a roofer, compare quotes, and prioritise the most urgent repairs on a 2 storey property.

On Cranbourne’s two-storey homes, we often see cracked or slipped concrete tiles, debris-packed valleys, and flashing gaps around roof penetrations. After windy weather, leaf litter can lodge in valley lines and gutters, leading to overflow and water tracking under tiles. Ridge pointing and capping also deserve attention, as movement can open pathways for leaks and loosen adjacent tiles.
Yes. While a drone assessment isn’t a gutter clean, it can reveal heavy debris build-up, sagging sections, overflow staining and water marks along fascia lines. These signs help you decide whether a clean is urgent and which sections need attention first. On a 2 storey property, this visual check is valuable because ladder access can be risky and limited.
We assess common roof types found across Cranbourne, including concrete tile and metal (such as Colorbond-style sheeting). For tile roofs, we focus on cracks, displacement, ridge pointing and valley drainage. For metal roofs, we look for loose fasteners, damaged sheets, corrosion risks and flashing integrity. The drone imagery helps us document condition across large areas quickly and safely.
Not necessarily. Newer roofs can still develop issues from installation tolerances, storm debris, and blocked drainage points. Multi-hip designs common in Cranbourne estates can create more valleys and junctions, which are frequent leak locations. A drone roof assessment can confirm whether the roof covering is sitting correctly, whether flashings are sealed as expected, and whether gutters and valleys are draining freely.
High winds, rain, and low visibility can affect safe drone operation and image quality. We also need adequate take-off and landing space and must operate in line with aviation safety requirements. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling to ensure you receive clear, usable images. Where access allows, we can still capture partial coverage from safer angles and note any limitations in the report.
