Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture overhead and angled images to spot cracked or slipped tiles, dents, corrosion, loose sheets, and patch repairs. On 2 storey roofs in Fairfield, even small surface faults can lead to hidden water entry because wind-driven rain can track under laps and into junctions.
We review ridge and hip lines for lifting caps, deteriorated mortar, gaps and movement. These areas are common leak points on older roofs and on renovations where the new roof meets the original structure.
Valleys and transitions are inspected for leaf litter, silt and signs of water ponding. Fairfield’s tree canopy can quickly block valleys, forcing water sideways under tiles or into flashings during heavy rain.
We focus on metal flashings, sealant lines and penetrations that are difficult to view from the ground. Movement, aged sealants and poorly detailed penetrations can allow slow leaks that damage ceilings and framing over time.
Where visible, we check gutter runs, box gutters, overflows and downpipe entries for sagging, blockages and overflow staining. On 2 storey properties, overflow often shows up as fascia damage or water tracking down walls after storms.
You receive annotated images and plain-language notes outlining what was observed, why it matters, and what to address first. This helps you brief a roofer accurately and avoid paying for unnecessary “guess and quote” visits.

Yes. Fairfield streets with dense tree canopy can hide blocked valleys, gutter overflow points and mossy roof sections that aren’t visible from ground level. A drone allows us to check drainage paths and junctions across the whole roof without climbing onto a 2 storey structure. You get photo evidence of debris build-up, worn pointing and corrosion so maintenance can be targeted, not guesswork.
We pay close attention to the join between the original roof and any upper-level addition, including valleys, step flashings and changes in roofing material. These transition points often move over time and can open gaps that let water in. The drone lets us document ridge alignment, flashing condition and drainage direction so you can address weak points before internal damage appears.
Where the gutter design is visible from safe flight angles, we can capture imagery of box gutters, overflow points, junctions and areas showing ponding, rust or debris. Some internal gutters are partially concealed by parapets; in those cases we’ll document what can be seen and explain any limitations. If the imagery suggests high risk, we’ll recommend the next best inspection step.
They can. Properties closer to green corridors and parklands often experience heavier leaf drop, more shade and slower roof drying times, which can contribute to moss growth and persistent damp around gutters and valleys. Our drone assessment helps identify where moisture is lingering, where debris is collecting, and whether roof surfaces or flashings show early deterioration that could lead to leaks.
You’ll receive a clear summary of the roof’s visible condition, supported by photos and notes showing key defect locations. We highlight priority items, likely water-entry points and practical recommendations for repairs or maintenance. If something can’t be fully verified by drone due to angles or concealed elements, we’ll state that clearly so you know what was assessed and what requires further investigation.
