Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We scan the full roof surface for cracked, slipped or missing tiles, plus ridge capping alignment issues that can let water in during driving rain. Clear images help you pinpoint the exact roof faces and rows that need attention.
We inspect valley lines, junctions between roof sections, and transition points where water concentrates. These areas are common sources of overflow and hidden leaks, particularly where debris builds up or metal valley flashing is lifted or corroded.
We closely review flashings at plumbing vents, flues, skylights and any visible service penetrations. Even a small gap, lifted edge or perished sealant can allow wind-driven rain into the roof space on taller homes.
We check gutter runs for sagging sections, debris build-up, poor fall and overflow risk points, including at corners and near valley discharges. On 2 storey properties, gutter faults can quickly become fascia and eave damage if left unresolved.
We look for signs consistent with wind impact, such as displaced tiles, lifted ridge caps, loosened metal edging, and disturbed leaf guard installations. This is particularly valuable after recent wild weather or if the roof hasn’t been viewed up close in years.
You receive a report that links each issue to supporting photos and practical next steps, including what to address urgently versus what to maintain. This makes it easier to brief a roofer and compare quotes accurately.

Yes. Many Pakenham 2 storey homes have multiple roof planes, valleys and upper gutters that you can’t properly view from ground level. A drone assessment provides close-up imagery of tiles, ridge capping, flashings and drainage points so you can identify visible defects early. It’s especially helpful if the home has solar, skylights or limited side access that makes ladder checks impractical.
We often see slipped or cracked tiles, debris build-up in valleys and gutters, and flashing problems around penetrations such as vents, flues and skylights. On larger 2 storey roof footprints, blocked downpipe entries and poor gutter fall can also show up. The drone allows us to document these areas clearly so you can prioritise repairs and avoid water ingress.
We can visually assess the condition we can see from the drone, including panel placement, any obvious physical damage, and roof surface issues around the array such as displaced tiles or compromised flashings. We don’t test electrical performance, but we can flag installation-related roof risks (like lifted tiles at brackets or debris traps) so a solar technician or roofer can follow up if needed.
It can identify many visible signs that often follow rough weather, including displaced tiles, disturbed ridge capping, lifted metal edges, and overflow points where gutters have been overloaded with debris. While a drone can’t see inside the roof space, it’s a strong first step to confirm whether the roof surface and drainage system show the kinds of defects that lead to leaks after wind-driven rain.
A drone assessment focuses on what’s visible on the roof exterior. It can’t confirm concealed issues such as internal roof space moisture, insulation condition, or hidden timber decay under sarking. If we see exterior indicators that suggest a leak risk, we’ll recommend the next best step—such as a roof space inspection or targeted roofer investigation—to confirm the cause and extent before repairs are locked in.
