Notting Hill’s two-storey townhouses and renovated brick homes often have tiled ridgelines, valleys and hard-to-reach gutters that hide early leaks after Melbourne’s wind-driven rain.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check ridge lines and hip capping for cracking, mortar loss and displaced sections. On two-storey roofs, small failures at the ridge can drive water under tiles and into the roof space long before internal stains appear.
The drone images allow us to identify slipped, broken or missing tiles, dented metal sheets, and areas of patch repairs. We also flag uneven lines that can indicate movement or previous storm impact.
We focus on valleys, roof-to-wall junctions, and areas where additions meet the original roof. These are common points for debris build-up and water tracking, especially on properties with multiple roof pitches.
We inspect visible flashings around penetrations for lifting edges, gaps and aging sealant. Even minor separation around a flue or vent can create persistent leaks that are hard to diagnose from inside the home.
We look for blocked gutters, ponding, silt build-up and signs of overflow staining. For Notting Hill homes near trees, this helps identify where leaf litter is likely to cause water to back up under the roof edge.
If the property has a chimney or parapet walls, we capture close imagery to check for cracking, loose capping and deteriorated pointing. These areas can allow water entry and can also present falling debris risks.

Yes. Two-storey roofs in Notting Hill can have multiple pitches, valleys and upper gutters that are difficult to view safely from the ground. A drone assessment captures close-up images of ridges, tiles, flashings and drainage points so you can see issues like cracked capping, debris build-up and slipped tiles without anyone needing to climb onto the roof.
A drone assessment is strong at identifying visible defects such as broken or missing tiles, lifted ridge capping, corrosion on metal roofing, debris in valleys, blocked gutters, and failing flashings around penetrations. It won’t confirm hidden conditions like internal sarking damage, but it helps pinpoint where leaks are likely to start so follow-up checks can be targeted and cost-effective.
Yes. We plan the flight to capture the main roof and connected sections such as garages and upper-storey additions, including junctions where new and old rooflines meet. Those transitions are common defect areas because flashing details and falls can be complex. If any section is restricted by trees or close boundaries, we’ll explain what was visible and what needs alternative access.
We often see leaf litter and fine debris accumulating in gutters and valleys due to the mature trees around Notting Hill streets and nearby reserves. On some renovated homes, we also see junction issues where extensions meet older tiled roofs, including tired flashings and uneven tile lines. Wind-driven rain can exploit these weak points, so clear imagery of valleys, capping and drainage is valuable.
Our Drone Roof Assessment – 2 Storey Property is priced from $75. The final cost can vary depending on roof complexity, the number of connected roof sections (for example, multiple levels or detached structures), and safe access for launch and landing. If you share the address and a quick description of the roof type, we can confirm pricing before booking.
