Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph ridge lines and hip caps to identify cracked mortar, deteriorated pointing, gaps at joins and displaced capping. These faults are common leak entry points and can worsen quickly on exposed sections of a two-storey roof.
The drone captures overlapping images across each roof plane to spot slipped tiles, chipped corners, cracked concrete tiles, loose fixings, or sheet uplift. This helps pinpoint where water may be getting under the covering, especially on steeper upper-storey pitches.
We inspect valleys for debris build-up, corrosion, splits and poor laps, as well as junctions where roof sections meet. Blocked or damaged valleys can overflow into eaves and internal walls, often first noticed as ceiling stains upstairs.
High-resolution images are taken of apron flashing, step flashing and termination points to identify lifting edges, missing sealant, rust and poor terminations. Flashing defects are a frequent cause of persistent leaks on double-storey homes with façade features.
We check around skylights, vent pipes, antenna mounts, evaporative units and solar panel interfaces for cracked boots, unsealed fasteners and disturbed tiles or sheets. Penetrations are high-risk because small gaps can channel water into the roof space.
Where visible, we review gutter lines and box gutter sections for ponding indicators, overflow marks and debris at outlets. Two-storey roof drainage problems can be costly because overflow often damages soffits, fascia and internal plaster before it is obvious.

Yes. Many double-storey homes in Keysborough have multi-angled rooflines, valleys and penetrations that are difficult to view from the ground. A drone assessment can capture clear images of ridge capping, valley lines, flashing and tile or sheet condition without needing risky ladder work. It’s a practical option for identifying leak risks early and planning targeted repairs.
A drone is well suited to identifying cracked or slipped tiles, displaced ridge caps, deteriorated pointing, rusted or lifted flashing, debris-blocked valleys, and issues around penetrations like vents and skylights. It can also highlight drainage concerns such as debris at outlets and overflow indicators. Internal roof space issues still require a separate inspection if suspected.
Yes. You receive a structured summary supported by clear images showing the areas inspected and any defects observed. We note the likely significance (for example, active leak risk versus general wear) and outline practical next steps, such as urgent repair items to address first and areas to monitor. This makes it easier to compare roofing quotes and avoid unnecessary work.
It does. On older tile roofs, we pay close attention to ridge pointing, cracked tiles, and aging flashing details that can open up over time. On newer builds, we often see issues around roof penetrations, installation workmanship, and valley or box gutter performance on complex roof designs. The drone lets us tailor images to the roof style and likely weak points.
Strong winds, heavy rain, poor visibility and restricted flight conditions can affect safe drone operation. If the weather changes on the day, we’ll discuss options such as rescheduling or adjusting the inspection plan to focus on what can be safely captured. We also confirm site considerations like nearby obstacles and safe take-off and landing areas before commencing.
