Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture high-resolution images of every roof face on a 2 storey home, including sections that are difficult to view from the street or backyard. This helps identify cracked tiles, displaced sheets, surface wear and localised damage without relying on guesswork from ground-level viewing.
For tiled roofs common around Oakleigh South, we review ridge capping alignment and pointing condition along ridges and hips. Failing pointing and movement at joints can allow water entry and wind-driven lift, especially on exposed corners and high points.
We focus on valleys, roof-to-wall junctions and intersections where debris collects. Built-up leaf litter can dam water and push it under tiles or into laps, so documenting these areas helps you prioritise cleaning and maintenance before the next heavy rain.
We photograph and assess the condition of flashings and seals around common penetrations like flues, plumbing vents and skylights. Small gaps, lifted edges and degraded sealant are frequent sources of slow leaks that can go unnoticed in a two-storey ceiling space.
On metal roofs, we check for missing or backed-out screws, corrosion around fasteners, open laps, and lifting along barge caps and edge trims. These defects can lead to water tracking into sarking and framing, particularly where wind catches roof edges.
We include labelled photos of key issues so you can show a roofer exactly what needs attention. This reduces vague quotes, helps compare repair options, and supports negotiations if you’re assessing a property purchase in Oakleigh South.

Yes. In Oakleigh South, many blocks have narrow side passages, high fences and carports that restrict safe ladder placement, especially on a two-storey home. A drone can capture roof sections over garages, alfresco areas and rear extensions without needing physical access to those edges. You still get detailed photos of valleys, flashings and ridge lines for informed maintenance or buying decisions.
A drone assessment is strong at identifying displaced or broken tiles, deteriorated ridge pointing, lifted metal sheets, loose fasteners, damaged flashings, blocked valleys, and visible gutter overflow points. It also highlights areas of heavy debris build-up and sections that stay damp due to shade. If a concern requires internal confirmation, we’ll note the limitation and suggest the next step.
Yes. We include clear, supporting photos of the roof surfaces and any defects we observe, with notes that describe what we’re seeing and why it matters. These images are practical for sharing with roofers so they can quote more accurately, particularly for two-storey work where access and safety requirements can affect price.
Absolutely. Leaf drop and seed pods can collect in valleys and behind roof junctions, causing water to back up and track under coverings. During an Oakleigh South drone roof assessment, we look for debris build-up, overflow staining points and moisture-holding areas on shaded roof faces. If cleaning is needed, the photos help you identify the exact problem zones to address first.
Weather and site conditions are the main factors. Strong winds, steady rain, or poor visibility can reduce image quality and safe flight control, so we may reschedule to ensure reliable findings. We also consider nearby obstacles such as powerlines and tight airspace around neighbouring structures. We’ll confirm conditions with you before attending and proceed only when it’s safe and effective.
