Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up roof surface imagery to identify cracked, slipped or broken tiles, lifted edges on metal sheets, and surface wear that can allow wind-driven rain to track under the covering.
We check ridge and hip lines for gaps, failed mortar/pointing, and displaced caps. These areas are common leak entry points on tiled roofs, particularly where movement and weathering have opened small pathways for water.
We scan valleys and transitional channels for leaf build-up, silt, and tile fragments. Blocked valleys can force water sideways under tiles, so we flag locations that need cleaning or closer maintenance.
We inspect flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents and wall abutments for lifting, cracking, corrosion and poor overlaps. Faulty flashings are a frequent cause of intermittent leaks that only appear in certain wind directions.
We check visible gutter runs for sagging, debris, and signs of overflow paths near eaves. This helps identify where water may be backing up during heavy rain and wetting fascia or eave linings.
We provide clear, labelled images of problem spots so a roofer can quote accurately without repeated access attempts. This is especially useful on Mulgrave two-storey homes where access equipment can add time and cost.

Yes. Many Mulgrave blocks have limited clearance down the sides, plus extensions like garages and alfresco roofs that make ladder placement difficult. A drone can inspect ridges, valleys, and junctions from above with minimal disruption. We still work within safety and flight rules, and we’ll confirm on-site whether nearby trees, powerlines or wind conditions affect coverage.
The drone can visually assess roof coverings (tiles or metal), ridge capping, valleys, gutters from above, and flashings at visible junctions and penetrations like vents or skylights. It’s a visual inspection, not a water test, so it won’t confirm hidden underlay condition. Where we see signs that suggest moisture entry, we’ll note likely causes and recommended next steps.
In most cases, yes. High-resolution images allow us to identify common issues such as cracked or slipped tiles, gaps around ridge capping, and debris in valleys. Some defects can be subtle, especially if they’re partially obscured by leaf litter or shadow lines. If visibility is limited, we’ll explain what couldn’t be confirmed and what further access method may be needed.
They can. Established trees around Mulgrave homes often drop leaves and small branches that collect in valleys and gutters, especially on complex two-storey rooflines with multiple channels. When valleys block up, water can overflow sideways and track under tiles. A drone assessment is a quick way to locate the highest-risk collection points so you can clean and maintain the right areas.
