Forest Hill’s mix of older tiled roofs and newer two-storey builds can hide cracked ridge capping, lifted flashings and blocked valleys that are hard to spot from the ground—drone imaging finds the issues without ladders.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up imagery to spot cracked, slipped or displaced tiles, corrosion on metal sheeting, and surface deterioration that can allow wind-driven rain into the roof structure—particularly important on steep 2 storey pitches where damage is easy to miss.
The drone focuses along ridge lines and hips to identify failed mortar, gaps, and loose capping that can shift in storms. These defects often start as small separations but can lead to leaks and tile movement over time.
We inspect valleys, roof-to-wall junctions and changes in roof angle where debris and water concentrate. These are common leak entry points, especially on Forest Hill homes with extensions that create multiple roof intersections.
We check flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents and other penetrations for lifting edges, gaps, missing sealant and poor laps. Penetration failures often cause localised ceiling staining that is misdiagnosed until the roof is viewed up close.
Where visible, we assess gutter alignment, sagging sections, debris accumulation and likely overflow points at corners and downpipe entries. On 2 storey homes, these issues can dump water onto eaves and walls, accelerating timber and paint damage.
You receive a clear report with annotated images showing the location of concerns, the likely impact, and recommended next steps. This makes it easier to brief a roofer and compare quotes, or to negotiate repairs during a Forest Hill property purchase.

Our Forest Hill drone roof assessment focuses on the roof covering and the common leak and failure points: tiles or metal sheets, ridge capping and pointing, valleys, flashings, and visible gutter/drainage issues. We capture high-resolution images and document defects with locations. It’s ideal for identifying damage that’s unsafe to check by ladder on a two-storey home.
Yes. Where gutters and valleys are visible, the drone can show debris accumulation, water-trap areas and likely overflow points. While it won’t replace a physical clean-out, the imagery helps confirm whether leaf build-up is contributing to drainage issues and where it’s happening. This is useful in Forest Hill streets with mature trees near the roofline.
We plan the flight path to capture all accessible angles, including ridges, hips, valleys and roof-to-wall junctions across multiple levels. Some areas may be visually limited by tight gaps, heavy shading, or obstructions, but we document any limitations in the report. For most two-storey homes, drone access provides far better coverage than ground-based viewing.
Often, yes. Many older tiled roofs develop weathered pointing, hairline gaps along ridge lines, and occasional loose capping over time. These defects can worsen with wind and temperature changes and may allow water entry during heavy rain. A drone assessment is a practical way to check ridge integrity across an entire 2 storey roof without walking on fragile tiles.
Pricing starts from $75 for our Drone Roof Assessment – 2 Storey Property in Forest Hill, with final cost depending on roof complexity and access conditions.
