Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We fly over each roof plane to identify cracked, slipped or broken tiles and sheets, plus any patch repairs that may be failing. On 2 storey homes in The Basin, wind exposure and falling branches can cause isolated damage that’s easy to miss from the ground.
We inspect ridge lines for separation, gaps, crumbling mortar and uneven capping. Failing pointing is a common entry point for wind-driven rain, and on taller roofs it’s difficult to assess accurately without a drone’s close-up angles.
We look for leaf accumulation, silt build-up, corrosion and poor water run-off in valleys and box gutters. In The Basin, tree debris can create hidden dams that push water under tiles or into junctions during heavy rain.
We capture detailed images of flashings around roof-to-wall junctions, parapets, and transitions between roof sections. These areas are high-risk for leaks on multi-level designs and can show early signs of lifting, cracking or corrosion.
We examine seals and flashing details around penetrations where movement and UV exposure can open gaps. Skylights and vent boots are frequent leak sources, especially when debris collects upslope and diverts water toward the opening.
We review roof edges for signs of overflow staining, sagging gutter lines, and debris hotspots. This helps pinpoint where maintenance is needed most, particularly on two-storey homes where routine gutter checks are harder and often delayed.

Yes. The Basin’s tree cover can drop leaf litter and small branches onto roofs, valleys and gutters, creating blockages that aren’t visible from street level. A drone assessment lets us see debris build-up, water-flow pinch points and early corrosion without climbing onto a two-storey roof. It’s especially useful after storms or before buying, when you need evidence of roof condition quickly.
We focus on the areas most likely to leak or deteriorate: ridge capping and pointing, valleys and box gutters, flashings at roof-to-wall junctions, and penetrations like vents and skylights. We also scan roof planes for cracked or slipped tiles and check the gutter line from above for overflow stains and debris hotspots. The aim is to capture actionable images, not just general aerial shots.
In many cases, yes. Shaded roof planes common around The Basin’s established trees can show moss, lichen or surface staining. While a drone can’t test materials, it can clearly document coverage areas, likely moisture-holding zones, and where growth may be lifting tile edges or blocking water run-off. We’ll note the extent and suggest the appropriate next step, such as cleaning or a roofer’s review.
They do. After windy weather, we pay extra attention to isolated tile impact damage, lifted ridge capping, and flashings that may have shifted. We also look for debris sitting in valleys and behind penetrations, where water can pond and backflow under tiles. On two-storey homes, these defects can be hard to spot from ground level, so the drone images are especially useful.
You’ll receive a report with clear images and written notes explaining what we observed, where it is on the roof, and why it matters. The photos are suitable to share with roof plumbers or roof tilers so they can quote more accurately before attending site. If something appears urgent—like displaced tiles or a compromised flashing—we’ll flag it clearly so you can act quickly.
