Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up roof images to identify cracked or slipped tiles, ridge cap movement and deteriorated mortar/pointing. These defects are common entry points for wind-driven rain and can allow water to track under the roof covering before it becomes visible inside.
We focus on valley lines, box gutters and junctions where water concentrates. The drone view helps spot debris build-up, corrosion, splits and ponding marks that can lead to overflow into eaves or wall cavities—especially on complex two-storey roof designs.
We inspect flashings around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, antenna mounts and roof-to-wall transitions. Small gaps or lifted edges often cause intermittent leaks that are difficult to diagnose from the ground, particularly on upper levels.
We check roof perimeters for sagging gutters, misalignment and signs of overflow staining along fascia/eaves lines. These issues can indicate blocked downpipes or poor falls, which can cause water to back up under the first course of tiles or sheeting.
For Huntingdale properties with metal roofing or extensions, we look for surface rust, loose fasteners, lap separation and damaged coatings. Early corrosion around fixings and valleys can lead to pinhole leaks if left untreated.
You receive a report that links each finding to supporting images, notes the likely cause, and outlines the next action (maintenance, repair, or further invasive investigation). This makes it easier to brief a roofer and compare quotes accurately.

Yes. Many two-storey townhouses in Huntingdale have narrow side setbacks, shared boundaries and limited safe ladder positions. A drone assessment lets us inspect ridges, valleys, flashings and gutters from multiple angles without needing to step onto the roof. You still get clear, close-up images that help confirm whether issues like slipped tiles, lifted flashing or blocked drainage points need attention.
A drone roof assessment can identify cracked or displaced tiles, ridge cap movement, rust and loose fixings on metal roofs, deteriorated or lifted flashings, debris build-up in valleys/box gutters, and signs of poor drainage such as overflow staining. It’s also useful for spotting storm-related damage like dislodged capping or broken tiles after strong winds.
The aim is to pinpoint likely entry points by documenting defects where water commonly gets in—valleys, flashings, penetrations, ridge lines and gutter overflow zones. Many leaks can be traced to a visible defect. If the issue appears internal or concealed (for example, water tracking under sarking), we’ll note that and recommend the most appropriate follow-up inspection or trade investigation.
They do. Older tiled roofs in Huntingdale often show age-related wear such as brittle tiles, degraded pointing, and movement around ridge capping, while newer builds can have complex roof geometry with multiple junctions where flashing and drainage design matters. Our drone flight plan prioritises these higher-risk zones, so the report reflects the roof type and common failure points for that style.
Make sure we can access the yard or driveway for a safe take-off and landing area, and secure pets during the flight. If possible, let us know about any recent leaks, repairs or areas of concern so we can focus on those roof sections. We’ll handle the on-site safety check and choose the best position to capture clear images of the entire roof.
