Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We fly close to ridge capping and tile lines to identify slipped, cracked or displaced tiles and mortar deterioration. On two-storey roofs, these defects are easy to miss from ground level but can drive wind-blown rain into the roof space.
We focus on valleys and intersections where leaf litter commonly accumulates in Ferntree Gully. Blocked valleys can force water sideways under tiles or into sarking, so we document build-up and any signs of overflow pathways.
Drone angles allow us to assess gutter lines, gutter fall and visible blockages at downpipe entry points. This matters on two-storey properties where overflow can track down walls and create staining, damp patches or timber decay around eaves.
We capture detailed views around flues, skylights, vent pipes and wall abutments to spot lifted flashing edges, corrosion, gaps and failing sealant. These are common leak points that don’t always show inside until the damage is advanced.
For Colorbond or older metal sections, we look for surface corrosion, loose or missing fasteners, and separation at laps and flashings. Ferntree Gully’s damp mornings can accelerate rust on older materials and poorly maintained fixings.
We provide clear images of problem areas so you can share them with a roofer or gutter specialist. This helps reduce guesswork and supports more accurate quoting for two-storey work where access costs can be significant.

Yes. In Ferntree Gully, leaf litter can build up quickly in valleys and gutters, especially on taller roofs where water volumes are higher and overflow paths are harder to see. A drone assessment lets us check valley lines, gutter sections and downpipe entry points from above and capture evidence of debris dams, corrosion or overflow staining without needing ladders on uneven ground.
We perform a controlled drone flight to capture close-up photos and video of key roof areas: ridge capping, tile or metal field, valleys, gutters, downpipe inlets and flashing around penetrations such as skylights and flues. We then summarise visible defects and risk areas, explain likely causes, and provide images you can use to organise cleaning or repairs.
Often, yes. Many Ferntree Gully properties sit on varied terrain, and tight side setbacks can make ladder access difficult for two-storey roofs. A drone can usually launch from a driveway, front yard or other clear area, then approach the roofline safely. We’ll confirm site suitability when booking and will not fly if conditions make safe operation uncertain.
They can. We commonly focus on slipped tiles, cracked corners, deteriorated pointing on ridge capping, and worn flashing at wall abutments and penetrations. On some homes, re-roof sections or extensions create junctions where water can enter if flashing is poorly integrated. Drone imagery helps us inspect these transitions and identify areas that may need resealing, repointing or targeted tile replacement.
Strong winds, rain, low cloud, and poor visibility can affect drone stability and image quality. Because Ferntree Gully can experience changeable conditions near the foothills, we may recommend rescheduling if gusts or showers are forecast. We’ll coordinate a suitable time to ensure we can capture clear, close-range images and provide reliable findings from the flight.
