Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close aerial images across the full roof surface to spot cracked or slipped tiles, chipped tile edges, sheet laps, loose screws and early corrosion—issues that can lead to leaks on Hallam two-storey homes before internal damage shows.
We check ridge lines, hips and gables for deteriorated mortar/pointing, gaps and movement. These areas are exposed to wind uplift and are frequent entry points for driven rain and vermin when they start to separate.
Valleys, box gutters and junctions around extensions are photographed for leaf build-up, ponding, rust, cracking and misalignment. In complex Hallam roof designs, small blockages in these channels can cause overflows and ceiling leaks.
We examine flashings at chimneys (where present), skylights, vent pipes, antenna mounts and wall-to-roof junctions. Failed sealant, lifted flashing edges and missing fixings are documented because they’re common leak sources on two-storey roofs.
From aerial angles we review gutter alignment, overflow points and downpipe entry locations for signs of sagging, debris build-up and spill lines. This helps identify drainage issues that can affect eaves, fascias and upper-storey walls.
Where solar is present, we photograph panel edges and mounting points to look for debris trapping, lifted tiles/sheets nearby and cable/penetration positioning. We note risks around access and water pathways, without performing electrical testing.

Yes. Many two-storey properties in Hallam have multiple roof lines, valleys and penetrations that are difficult to view from the ground. A drone assessment provides close-up imagery of ridge capping, flashings and drainage channels without climbing. It’s especially useful after heavy rain or strong winds, or before buying, when you need evidence of roof condition and likely repair areas.
We can identify visible issues such as cracked or displaced tiles, lifted ridge capping/pointing, rust or loose fasteners on metal roofing, deteriorated flashing edges, debris build-up in valleys, and gutter sagging or overflow risk points. We also note areas that warrant closer attention by a roofer, such as suspect penetrations or junctions where water commonly tracks under coverings.
This service focuses on the exterior roof surfaces and accessible external components captured by drone imagery. If you also need confirmation of active leaks, moisture paths, or insulation damage, a separate internal inspection (including roof void where safe and accessible) is recommended. We can advise on the right combination of inspections based on what the drone footage shows.
On Hallam homes we often see issues around valleys and junctions near garages, alfresco areas and extensions where debris can collect and water can back up. Concrete tile roofs can develop cracked tiles and deteriorated ridge pointing over time, while metal roofs may show early rust around fasteners or at overlapping sheets. A drone assessment helps pinpoint these locations without disturbing the roof.
You receive a professional report with clear photos (and supporting imagery where needed) showing roof areas inspected, defects observed and risk notes. We highlight priority items such as displaced tiles, failing flashings or blocked valleys, and provide practical next steps so you can obtain accurate repair quotes. If findings suggest broader concerns, we’ll recommend follow-up inspection options.
