Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up images along ridges and hips to identify cracked mortar, loose bedding and gaps where wind-driven rain can enter. These areas commonly deteriorate before the field tiles, particularly on steeper Glen Iris roof pitches.
We check for slipped, fractured or displaced tiles (and visible corrosion or fastener issues on metal roofing). The goal is to pinpoint isolated defects that can be repaired early rather than waiting for a widespread leak event.
We focus on roof valleys and transitions where debris builds up and water concentrates. Photos highlight leaf loading, ponding indicators and seam or lining issues that often cause leaks in multi-level roof layouts.
We visually assess flashing lines and junction detailing for lifting edges, gaps and patchwork repairs. These are common leak sources on Glen Iris homes with renovations, dormers or added upper-storey walls.
We look for gutter blockages, misalignment, overflow staining and poor fall toward outlets, then document downpipe entry points. On two-storey homes, these defects can cause water to spill into eaves and down internal wall cavities.
Your report includes annotated images that show what we observed and where it sits on the roof. This makes it easier to brief a roofer, compare quotes and prioritise repairs without guesswork.

Yes. Many Glen Iris two-storey homes have steep tiled pitches and narrow side setbacks that make ladder placement difficult and risky. A drone assessment allows us to capture close-up images of ridges, valleys, gutters and flashing from multiple angles without needing to walk on fragile tiles or set up access over gardens and driveways.
We commonly identify slipped or cracked tiles, deteriorated ridge pointing, debris-choked valleys, localised gutter overflow staining, and flashing gaps around chimneys or skylights. These defects often sit on upper slopes or behind roof features, so they’re not visible from street level but can still drive leaks and moisture damage inside.
Yes. You’ll receive a written summary supported by clear photos that show the defect and its location on the roof. This helps roofers quote accurately and reduces the chance of broad, non-specific recommendations. If we see multiple issues, we’ll outline what’s urgent versus what can be monitored.
We can. Drone images are well-suited to identifying leaf and debris accumulation in gutters, valleys and behind chimneys where material traps. We also look for signs of overflow paths and areas where water may be backing up at outlets. While we don’t clean gutters as part of this service, the findings help you target the problem sections quickly.
Yes. Strong winds, rain, poor visibility and certain nearby hazards can affect flight safety and image quality. We’ll also consider surrounding conditions such as tight airspace constraints and overhead obstacles. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling so the inspection results are reliable and the flight is conducted safely.
