Drone Roof Assessment – 2 Storey Property in Kew East

Yes. Many Kew East streets have mature trees that drop leaves and twigs onto roofs. On 2 storey homes, debris can pack into valleys and gutters where you can’t easily see overflow until water marks appear. A drone survey lets us view those collection points from above, document blocked sections, and flag areas that need cleaning or drainage repairs before the next heavy rain.

We focus on the roof covering (tiles or metal), ridge capping/pointing, valleys, flashings at roof penetrations (vents, skylights), roof-to-wall junctions, and gutters where visible. The goal is to identify defects that commonly cause leaks or accelerated wear on double-storey properties, then provide photos and clear recommendations for repairs or maintenance.

A drone roof assessment primarily identifies visible defects and risk areas—cracked tiles, lifted flashings, open joints, debris blockages and corrosion. While we can’t “see” moisture inside the roof space with standard drone imaging, we can often pinpoint where water is likely to enter based on detailing and drainage paths. If needed, we’ll recommend follow-up checks to confirm internal impacts.

Yes. Roof junctions between older and newer sections are common weak points, especially where roof pitch changes or walls meet roof lines on the second storey. The drone allows us to inspect these transitions closely, looking for poor overlaps, deteriorated sealants, and water-tracking marks. We document each junction so a roofer can target repairs rather than guessing.

Wind, rain and low visibility can limit safe flying and image quality. We’ll assess conditions on arrival and, if needed, reschedule to ensure the roof details are captured clearly. We also consider surrounding obstacles such as trees and tight access, then plan flight paths that maintain safe clearance while still capturing the critical ridges, valleys and flashings on a 2 storey roof.
