Murrumbeena’s mix of older tiled homes and newer two-storey rebuilds often hides roof wear in valleys, box gutters and tight side access—drone footage lets us check the high-risk spots without ladders over neighbours’ fences.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture detailed views along ridgelines and hips to identify loose caps, mortar cracking and gaps that can open up after weather changes. On tiled two-storey roofs in Murrumbeena, these areas are common leak paths and are hard to inspect accurately from the ground.
The drone survey checks for cracked, chipped or slipped tiles, and for metal roof issues such as dents, lifted edges or missing/loose fasteners. These defects can allow wind-driven rain into the sarking and roof space, especially around exposed roof faces.
We focus on valleys and intersecting roof lines where debris can collect and water flow concentrates. The drone helps spot corrosion, deforming valley metal, and tile alignment issues that can cause water to track under the roof covering.
We inspect flashings around roof penetrations for lifting, cracking, separation and sealant breakdown. Even small gaps around vents or skylights can cause persistent leaks that show up as staining in upper-level ceilings.
We photograph gutter runs and junctions to identify ponding, rusting, sagging, blockages and poor fall toward outlets. Two-storey homes rely heavily on effective drainage; overflow can damage fascia boards, eaves and upper-level walls.
We check perimeter roof edges where wind can lift materials and where water can backflow if gutters are compromised. This includes barge capping condition, edge flashing integrity and signs of past patch repairs that may need a more permanent fix.

Yes. Many Murrumbeena blocks have limited side clearance, high fences, and rear extensions that block sightlines from the street. A drone can capture close-up images of the rear roof planes, valleys, and gutters without needing ladders positioned over neighbouring property. It’s a practical way to confirm roof condition on a 2 storey home before organising any major repair work.
You’ll receive a summary of observed roof issues and clear supporting photos from the drone flight. We highlight key risk points such as ridge capping, valleys, flashings, penetrations, guttering and downpipe entry areas. The report focuses on what the images show, why it matters, and the next steps to consider, including when to engage a qualified roofer for repairs.
A drone assessment is a visual inspection of accessible external roof elements, so it can’t directly see under tiles, sarking, insulation or internal timber. What it can do is identify common leak entry points—cracked tiles, lifted flashings, rusted valleys, separated capping, and blocked gutters—that often cause water ingress. If we see indicators of moisture risk, we’ll recommend targeted follow-up checks.
They often do. Older tiled roofs can show cracked or slipped tiles, deteriorated ridge capping mortar, and wear around valleys and penetrations. Newer metal roofs are more likely to present issues such as loose fasteners, lifting flashings, and overflow risks around box gutters and junctions. The drone lets us document these roof-specific problem areas on your 2 storey property without relying on guesswork from ground level.
Strong winds, heavy rain and poor visibility can affect flight safety and image quality. We also need a suitable take-off/landing area and to follow all applicable safety and operational requirements. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling so the inspection can be completed properly and the photos are sharp enough to support reliable findings and recommendations.
