Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture detailed images across the main roof areas to identify cracked, slipped or chipped tiles, worn ridge capping, and surface deterioration. On two-storey homes, these defects are often concentrated on upper sections that are unsafe to view from a ladder.
We inspect ridge lines and hip caps for displaced tiles, failed pointing/mortar and visible gaps that can allow wind-driven rain in. This is particularly important where older roof materials meet newer renovation work.
Valleys, box gutters and roofline intersections are photographed closely to spot rust, debris build-up, lifted edges and poor drainage paths. These areas commonly trigger ceiling stains and hidden timber moisture issues.
We check around chimneys, skylights, flues, vent pipes and antenna mounts for loose, split or poorly sealed flashings. Penetration points are frequent sources of slow leaks that only show up after repeated rain.
We look for sagging gutters, ponding points, corrosion, and overflow staining along fascia/eaves. This helps you understand whether water is being directed away correctly or backing up under the roof edge.
If we spot a concern—such as a patch repair, uneven tile lines, or storm-related damage—we take additional close-up angles so you can show a roofer exactly what needs attention and where.

Yes. Many Heidelberg Heights homes have tiled roofs where cracking, slipping and ridge deterioration can be hard to see from the ground—especially on a second storey. A drone assessment allows us to photograph the tile field, ridges, hips and valleys in detail so you can understand the roof’s condition and where leaks are most likely to occur, without risking damage from walking on tiles.
That junction is a key focus. We use angled drone imagery to assess how the roof planes connect, including step flashings, apron flashings, valleys and drainage paths. These transition points can fail when renovations are done quickly or when materials age at different rates. We document visible gaps, corrosion, debris build-up and any signs that water may be tracking back toward the structure.
You’ll receive a professional inspection report supported by clear roof photos, with key defects and concerns explained in plain language. We highlight areas that appear serviceable, areas showing wear, and any sections that warrant a roofer’s closer hands-on review. The report is designed to help you make decisions about repairs, maintenance timing, and negotiating if you’re purchasing.
They can. Tree cover often increases leaf litter and debris that collects in gutters, valleys and behind roof penetrations. During the drone assessment we look for signs of blockage, overflow staining, ponding points and debris build-up that can push water where it shouldn’t go. We also note areas where branches may be contacting the roof, which can damage tiles and accelerate wear over time.
Yes. Strong winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, and restricted access can limit safe flight and image quality. We also need to comply with aviation and safety requirements, including maintaining safe distances and avoiding restricted airspace. If conditions aren’t suitable on the day, we’ll discuss rescheduling so the assessment is completed properly rather than delivering unclear or incomplete results.
