Mentone’s bayside winds and salt exposure can accelerate rusting on metal roofing and flashings, while leafy streets can load gutters fast. A drone inspection lets us check high, steep 2 storey roofs without scaffolding.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up imagery to spot cracked or slipped tiles, displaced capping, denting, surface rust, and coating breakdown. On a 2 storey roof, small defects can quickly become leaks during heavy rain, so identifying early damage matters.
We assess ridge lines for gaps, crumbling mortar, and failed pointing that can let water in and loosen capping over time. This is particularly important where bayside winds can work under lifted edges.
Valleys and junctions concentrate water flow and debris. We look for corrosion, debris build-up, staining patterns and misalignments that suggest ponding or overflow—common sources of leaks on complex Mentone roof designs.
We photograph flashings around penetrations and check for lifted edges, cracked sealant, rusting, and poor integration with the roof covering. These areas often fail first and can be hard to view safely on a second-storey roof.
We assess gutter alignment, visible blockages, rust points, sagging sections and overflow staining on fascia lines. Leaf litter can build quickly in Mentone’s greener pockets, and overflow can drive moisture into eaves and wall cavities.
We inspect roof edges for water marks, deterioration, and signs of wind-driven rain entry. Problems at the perimeter can indicate gutter issues, flashing defects, or recurring overflow that needs attention before internal damage occurs.

Yes. Many Mentone 2 storey roofs have steep pitches, multiple junctions and limited safe ladder access, which can hide defects at valleys, ridges and flashings. A drone assessment provides close-up images of those areas so we can identify cracked tiles, lifted capping, rusting and gutter overflow risks without scaffolding. It’s a cost-effective way to clarify roof condition before you commit to repairs or a purchase.
We can identify visible indicators such as rust staining, corrosion on metal flashings, deterioration around fixings, and coating breakdown on sheet roofing. While a drone can’t test metal thickness, the imagery helps us flag areas that typically deteriorate faster in coastal conditions and recommend what to monitor or have checked further by a roofer if needed.
We focus on the parts most likely to leak or fail on 2 storey homes: ridge capping and pointing, valleys, roof-to-wall junctions, penetrations like vents or skylights, and gutters/downpipes. We also review roof edges (fascia and eaves lines) for overflow staining and water-entry clues. The goal is to pinpoint likely defect locations rather than give a vague summary.
Yes, to a point. In Mentone streets with heavier tree cover, leaf litter can quickly block gutters and valleys. Our drone imagery can often show visible build-up, sagging gutters, overflow staining and water marks along fascia lines. We’ll document where the risk is highest and recommend cleaning or further investigation. If gutters are fully covered by guards, we’ll note any limitations to visibility.
Weather and safety conditions are key. Strong winds, rain and poor visibility can limit safe flight and image quality, and we won’t fly if conditions risk property damage or compromised results. We’ll also consider local obstacles such as nearby trees and surrounding buildings common in built-up parts of Mentone. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling to ensure the assessment is reliable.
