Montrose homes often sit on sloping blocks and leafy streets, where gutters clog quickly and roof access is awkward. A drone assessment checks tiles, valleys and flashings without ladders or walking fragile sections.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close, angled images across the full roof surface to spot cracked or slipped tiles, loose ridge caps and failing mortar pointing. These defects often start as small gaps that let wind-driven rain track under tiles, especially around the upper courses on 2 storey roofs.
We focus on valleys and run-off paths where water concentrates and problems show up first. In leafy Montrose streets, built-up debris can hold moisture, accelerate corrosion, and push water sideways into the roof space during heavy rain.
The drone documents the condition and fit of flashings at roof penetrations and junctions. We look for lifted edges, gaps, sealant failure and splits that can cause persistent leaks even when tiles look fine from ground level.
We check gutter lines for sagging, overflow staining, vegetation growth and blockages at downpipe dropper points. Overflow at the edge of a 2 storey roof can wet fascia and eaves and create hidden rot that’s expensive to fix later.
Where roof sections meet—changes in pitch, step-downs, and boxed areas—water can pond or backflow if detailing is poor. We capture these junctions clearly so you can understand whether the issue is maintenance, detailing, or a likely repair job.
Your report includes labelled photos showing the exact locations of concerns (for example, ‘rear valley near dormer junction’). This makes it easier to obtain accurate quotes and avoids vague advice like ‘needs attention’ without showing where or why.

Yes. Tree cover around Montrose can lead to blocked gutters, debris-packed valleys and overflow points that aren’t visible from the ground. On a 2 storey roof, these issues can sit on the highest or steepest sections where safe access is difficult. Drone imagery lets us document the problem areas and show you exactly where maintenance or repairs are likely needed.
We capture detailed images of tiles or roof sheeting, ridge caps and pointing, valleys and hips, flashings, skylights and other penetrations, plus gutters and downpipe entry points. We’re looking for movement, cracking, corrosion, debris build-up and water-tracking signs. The report explains each finding and why it matters for leaks, drainage and roof lifespan.
A drone assessment focuses on external roof condition, so it won’t directly confirm internal moisture or ceiling staining. However, it is very good at identifying the common entry points that lead to leaks—failed flashings, cracked tiles, valley issues and gutter overflow. If the external imagery suggests a likely leak path, we’ll recommend the most appropriate next step.
They do. On higher or more exposed sites, we pay extra attention to wind-lift risk at ridge lines, tile movement, and water being driven sideways into junctions. On sloping blocks, overflow can track down walls and into eaves, so gutter alignment and downpipe entry points matter more. The drone helps us document these areas without unsafe access.
Bookings are subject to availability and safe flying conditions. Once completed, you receive a written summary with annotated photos that highlight defects and maintenance items, plus priority notes so you can plan repairs or request quotes. If we can’t fly safely due to weather or site constraints, we’ll discuss rescheduling options before proceeding.
