Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We scan for cracked, slipped or missing tiles, dents, lifted sheets, and surface deterioration. These defects are common entry points for wind-driven rain and can be difficult to see from the ground on a 2 storey property.
We look for separated or fractured pointing, displaced ridge capping, and gaps along hips and ridges. On many double-storey tiled roofs, minor movement here can channel water into the roof space and show up as ceiling staining later.
The drone focuses on valleys and tricky junctions where two roof planes meet. We check for leaf build-up, corrosion, poor laps, and debris dams that can cause overflow into eaves and walls during heavy rain.
We inspect around flashings and roof penetrations for lifted edges, sealant failure, and gaps. These areas are frequent leak points, especially when older flashings meet newer roof work or where maintenance has been patchy.
We assess gutter alignment, sagging sections, visible corrosion, and blocked downpipe inlets. In Scoresby, leaf litter can quickly reduce capacity and push water back under the first course of tiles or behind fascia.
We check panel arrays for obvious damage, lifted edges, and debris build-up beneath frames, plus the surrounding roof surface. We also review mounts and penetrations where roof plumbing and brackets can introduce leak paths.

In Scoresby we often see leaf litter collecting in valleys and gutters, especially around mature gardens, which can force water to overflow into eaves. On tiled roofs, cracked or slipped tiles and ageing ridge pointing are common, while metal roofs may show early corrosion around fasteners and flashings. A drone assessment is designed to capture these high and hard-to-reach areas clearly.
A drone roof assessment focuses on visible, external contributors to leaks—like cracked tiles, damaged flashing, blocked valleys and gutter overflow points. While it can’t see inside the roof space, it can identify likely entry points and areas needing closer investigation. If you’ve had water staining or musty smells, we can recommend follow-up checks to confirm internal moisture impact.
Yes. We inspect the roof surface around the panels, look for debris build-up, and review visible mounting points and penetrations where possible from drone imagery. Panels can hide broken tiles or corrosion beneath edges, so the drone helps us examine the surrounding roof planes and drainage paths. If we spot concerns, we’ll note specific areas for a solar or roofing specialist to confirm.
Yes. Scoresby has plenty of established trees, and leaf litter can quickly block valleys and downpipe inlets, particularly after wind. The suburb also has a mix of older tiled roofs and newer extensions, which can create junctions where flashing details matter. A drone assessment helps you see these problem-prone areas on a 2 storey roof without relying on limited ground visibility.
You’ll receive a report that summarises the roof’s overall condition and lists defects by priority, supported by clear photos taken during the drone flight. We highlight the specific roof planes or junctions involved so you can act quickly, whether that’s cleaning gutters, repairing pointing, replacing damaged tiles, or getting targeted quotes from a roofer for the right areas.
