Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up roof surface images to identify cracked, slipped or missing tiles, loose fasteners, and sheet movement that can allow wind-driven rain to enter on two-storey homes.
Ridge caps are inspected for gaps, crumbling mortar, displaced caps and deteriorated pointing—common sources of leaks that may not show inside the home until significant water has travelled.
The drone focuses on valleys and junctions where sections meet (including around additions), checking for debris build-up, corrosion, ponding signs and separation that can cause overflow and internal staining.
We inspect flashings around chimneys, flues, skylights and roof-to-wall junctions for lifting, splitting, rusting or poor overlaps—key defect points on multi-level rooflines common around Holmesglen.
We assess gutter alignment, sagging sections, overflow marks and blockages at the eaves line, helping identify areas where water may be backing up under the first course of tiles or into fascia boards.
Your report includes annotated images that show what was found and where, making it easier to brief a roofer, compare repair quotes, or negotiate during a purchase.

For Holmesglen two-storey homes, we use a drone to capture close-up images of roof surfaces (tiles or metal), ridges and cappings, valleys, gutters and visible flashings around penetrations like flues or skylights. We look for defects such as cracked/slipped tiles, deteriorated pointing, debris build-up, corrosion and overflow signs. You’ll receive a report with photo evidence and practical next steps.
Yes. Additions often create roof junctions and transitions where water management can fail, especially around box gutters, valleys and roof-to-wall flashings. The drone lets us inspect these junctions closely on a two-storey property and document separation, debris build-up, corrosion, and areas where water may be ponding or overflowing. We’ll note the likely risk points and what a roofer should investigate further.
It’s helpful but not always required. If we can access the property safely and have clear instructions, we can usually complete the drone flight and external assessment without you being present. If there are locked gates, pets, or specific areas you want us to focus on (for example, near a skylight or a previous leak location), being available by phone during the booking window can speed things up.
Established streets in Holmesglen can mean more leaf litter landing in valleys and gutters, particularly after windy weather. On a two-storey roof, those blockages can be hard to spot until water overflows, backs up under tiles, or stains eaves and fascia. A drone assessment can quickly check for debris accumulation, overflow markings and ponding signs, so you can arrange cleaning or repairs before damage spreads.
In most cases, yes. We plan a flight path that focuses on your roof while maintaining safe distances and respecting nearby homes. Tight side setbacks can limit viewing angles from the ground, which is exactly where drones help. If there are specific constraints (like heavy tree canopy or restricted airspace conditions), we’ll discuss them upfront and confirm what areas can be captured clearly.
