Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture detailed images of roof coverings to spot slipped or cracked tiles, corrosion on metal sheeting, displaced capping, and surface deterioration. These issues matter because small defects on a two-storey roof can lead to water entry that’s harder to detect from inside until damage spreads.
We focus on valleys, box gutters and internal drainage points where leaves and silt accumulate. Blockages here can force water sideways under tiles or into junctions, which is a common source of staining and hidden timber decay.
We assess lead/apron flashings, step flashings, vent penetrations and skylight surrounds. Failed sealant, lifting edges or gaps around penetrations are frequent causes of leaks, particularly on older Malvern roof designs with chimneys and multiple roof planes.
We examine ridge lines and hip caps for cracking, missing pointing, loose mortar and alignment issues. Deteriorated pointing can let water in and can also allow caps to loosen in high winds, creating a safety hazard and a bigger repair bill.
From the air, we look for sagging gutters, overflow staining, disconnected downpipes and sections that may be holding water. Poor drainage can contribute to fascia damage and overflow that affects walls and windows below.
You receive clear photos with notes showing locations and likely consequences, plus practical recommendations on what to monitor versus what to repair promptly. This helps you brief a roofer accurately and avoid paying for vague or unnecessary works.

Yes. Many older Malvern homes have chimneys, multiple roof planes and ageing flashings that are hard to view safely from ground level. A drone allows close inspection of chimney flashings, ridge caps and valleys where leaks often start. You’ll get clear photos showing gaps, lifting edges or debris build-up so you can plan targeted repairs rather than guessing.
We prioritise areas most likely to fail on two-storey roofs: ridges and hips, valleys/box gutters, penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys), edge details, and visible guttering and downpipe connections. The drone captures multiple angles so we can identify displaced tiles, cracked pointing, corrosion, blockages and drainage issues that can’t be seen from the street.
Yes. Extensions and additions often create new junctions where old and new roofing meet, and those tie-ins can be leak points if flashing or falls aren’t ideal. Drone imaging is well suited to these transitions because we can capture the joining lines, valleys, and drainage paths over the extension without needing to access tight areas at the back of the home.
Often, yes, but it depends on site constraints and conditions on the day. Malvern’s leafy streets can limit flight paths and line-of-sight. We’ll choose safe take-off and viewing positions and adjust angles to capture key areas like valleys and gutters where leaf litter collects. If trees prevent adequate visibility of a section, we’ll note that clearly in your results.
You’ll receive a clear, photo-based summary showing the roof areas inspected and any defects observed, with notes explaining why they matter and what actions are recommended. We’ll highlight urgent items such as displaced tiles, failed flashings or blocked drainage, as well as maintenance items to monitor. If specialist repair is needed, we’ll advise engaging an appropriately qualified roofer.
