Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close imagery across roof planes to identify cracked or slipped tiles, deteriorated mortar, lifted pointing and movement along ridge capping. These issues matter on two-storey homes because minor displacement can quickly become a ceiling leak before you notice it inside.
We focus on valleys, internal gutters and roof junctions where leaf litter and silt build up in Lysterfield’s treed streets. Blocked or corroding sections can cause overflow into eaves and walls, so we document build-up, staining and surface breakdown.
We inspect flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents and satellite points for lifting, gaps, sealant failure and corrosion. Penetrations are common leak sources, and drone angles help spot separation that’s hard to see from ground level.
For Colorbond or other metal roofs, we look for loose or missing fasteners, sheet lap separation, surface corrosion and damaged edges. Wind exposure around the Lysterfield hills can stress fixings over time, particularly near ridgelines and verandah transitions.
We image gutter runs to identify sagging, overflow staining, blocked outlets and sections holding water. This is crucial for two-storey properties where water discharge problems can track down cavities and present as damp patches far from the original blockage.
We look for punctures, denting, displaced tiles and impact marks that can occur after branch fall. With large trees common in Lysterfield, this feature helps confirm whether recent weather has caused roof damage that warrants immediate repair.

Yes. In Lysterfield, leaf litter and twigs commonly collect in valleys and gutters, and shade can hide damp build-up and moss. A drone assessment captures close images of these high-risk spots on two-storey roofs, where visual checks from the ground miss problems. It’s a practical way to confirm whether drainage points are clear and whether debris is creating overflow or corrosion.
A drone can closely image ridge lines, valleys, flashing details, penetrations, gutters and the full roof surface, including areas above verandahs and steep pitches. Ground checks mainly show overall shape and obvious sagging or missing tiles. For two-storey properties, the drone provides the detail needed to identify early-stage cracks, lifting pointing and blocked outlets before they become internal water damage.
We don’t remove panels, but we can assess visible edges and surrounding roof areas for signs of movement, broken tiles, lifting flashings and debris build-up. We also look for staining or overflow near panel arrays where leaves can accumulate. If the imagery suggests a problem beneath or behind the array, we’ll note it clearly and recommend the next step for a safe, targeted follow-up.
Common findings include debris-choked valleys and gutters, dislodged tiles after windy weather, and worn pointing along ridge capping on older tiled roofs. On metal roofs, we often look for loose fasteners and early corrosion at sheet overlaps and along gutters. Lysterfield’s mix of bushland proximity and exposed rooflines makes these issues easier to detect with a close drone pass.
You’ll receive a detailed report with annotated images showing the areas inspected and any defects found, plus clear explanations of what each issue means and what to tackle first. We focus on practical outcomes—where water is likely to enter, where drainage is failing, and where materials are deteriorating. This makes it easier to obtain accurate repair quotes and plan maintenance.
