Harkaway’s leafy blocks and tall gums drop debris onto roofs and gutters, and many homes sit on exposed ridgelines where wind can lift tiles and flashings. A drone assessment checks the roof properly without climbing a steep two-storey pitch.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up visuals of broken, slipped or cracked tiles, displaced ridge capping, and deteriorated pointing. On two-storey roofs, these defects are easy to miss from ground level but can be entry points for wind-driven rain.
We assess valleys and box gutters for leaf litter, ponding signs and corrosion. In Harkaway’s leafy streets, blocked drainage is a common trigger for overflow that can wet eaves, fascia and internal ceilings.
We inspect around chimneys, skylights, vents, solar penetrations and antenna mounts. Failed flashings and perished seals often leak long before you see staining inside, especially after heavy rain.
We look for indicators of movement and wind damage along ridges and hips, including loose capping and gaps in pointing. Elevated sites and open aspects around Harkaway can increase wind pressure on roof edges.
We visually check gutter alignment, sagging sections, overflow marks and rusting at joins, plus fascia-edge deterioration. These issues can affect stormwater control and contribute to rot at the eaves on two-storey homes.
Your report maps images to roof sections (front/rear, left/right, main roof vs extension) so you can hand it straight to a roofer for accurate quotes. It also helps buyers compare the condition across different roof planes.

Yes. In Harkaway, tree canopy can hide blocked valleys and gutters, and debris can sit in shaded areas where moss forms. On a two-storey roof those sections are hard to view safely from ladders. A drone lets us closely inspect drainage lines, ridge capping and flashings and provide photo evidence of where leaf build-up or damage is occurring.
We focus on the areas most likely to leak or fail: ridges and hips, valley lines, gutters and box gutters, roof penetrations (vents, skylights, antennas, solar), flashing junctions, and tile or sheet condition across each roof plane. We document defects with images, note likely causes, and outline practical next steps so you can plan repairs or seek quotes.
A drone assessment identifies visible causes of leaks such as cracked or slipped tiles, damaged pointing, lifted flashings, rusted valleys and blocked drainage. It can’t see inside the roof cavity or confirm active moisture in insulation. If the images suggest leak pathways, we’ll recommend the next level of investigation, such as internal ceiling checks or a targeted roof plumber inspection.
Often, yes. Roofs that have been extended can have complex tie-ins where flashing details and fall direction change. These junctions can create low points for water and leaf build-up, especially if an extension introduces a box gutter or additional valley. Our drone inspection concentrates on these connection points and provides close-up images so issues are obvious before they become internal damage.
Wind strength, rain, and poor visibility can limit safe flying, and nearby obstacles like tall trees and power lines influence the flight plan. We’ll assess conditions on arrival and adjust the approach to maintain safety and image quality. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling so the assessment is done properly rather than rushed with incomplete coverage.
