Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up drone images to identify cracked, slipped or missing tiles, deteriorated coating on metal sheets, and impact damage. These defects are common starting points for water entry, especially on steep 2 storey roof planes where damage is easy to miss.
We assess ridge and hip lines for loose capping, crumbling mortar, and failed flexible pointing. On Ringwood’s older tiled roofs, deteriorated bedding can allow wind-driven rain under caps and contribute to internal damp patches.
Valleys are photographed along their full length to spot leaf accumulation, corrosion, separation and overflow points. In tree-lined parts of Ringwood, blocked valleys can push water sideways under tiles during heavy rain.
We examine flashing edges, overlaps and seal points where roofs meet walls or penetrations. Small gaps at these junctions can cause persistent leaks that show up far from the entry point in a two-storey ceiling cavity.
The drone checks gutter lines for sagging, overflow staining, debris build-up and poor falls, plus downpipe entry points that can become blocked. This helps explain why a home may experience overflow during storms even if gutters look fine from ground level.
We capture angles that are difficult to view from the street or backyard—behind parapets, over garages, and at rear roof planes. This is particularly useful for Ringwood two-storey homes where extensions and split levels create hidden roof sections.

Yes. Many Ringwood homes have aging concrete or terracotta tiles where cracking, slipped tiles and failed pointing can be scattered across multiple roof planes. On a two-storey property, these defects are difficult to check safely from ladders. A drone assessment captures close-up images of ridges, valleys and tile fields so you can see the condition and prioritise repairs before leaks spread.
We focus on the roof covering (tiles or sheet metal), ridge and hip lines, valleys, flashing at penetrations (skylights, vents, chimneys), gutter lines visible from above, and hard-to-reach elevations. We capture images from multiple angles to highlight damage, debris build-up, corrosion, and junction gaps that commonly lead to water ingress in double-storey homes.
The drone can identify likely entry points—such as damaged tiles, valley blockages, separated flashing or rusted sections—plus overflow risks at gutters. While the drone doesn’t test with water or open up the roof, the imagery often explains why leaks occur and where to investigate first. If needed, we can recommend follow-up checks for ceiling cavities or targeted repairs.
Yes. Tree debris often collects in valleys, behind chimney flashings and along gutters where you can’t see it from ground level. We photograph these areas to identify blockages, overflow staining and corrosion points. For Ringwood properties with heavy leaf drop, this helps you understand whether the roof needs cleaning, valley attention, or improved gutter maintenance.
Usually, no. We mainly need clear outdoor access to the yard and a safe area to launch and land. If you want the findings linked to internal symptoms (like ceiling staining on the upper level), we may ask to view specific rooms so we can align the roof imagery with the likely water paths. We’ll confirm access needs when booking.
