Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close imagery across the roof field to identify cracked, slipped or broken tiles, worn coatings, loose fasteners on metal roofing, and impact damage. These surface faults often sit out of sight on a 2 storey roof but are common entry points for wind-driven rain.
We inspect ridge lines and hip caps for deteriorated pointing, gaps, and movement. In Vermont South, older tiled roofs can show ageing mortar; early identification helps prevent water ingress and tile displacement during stronger weather.
Valleys and junctions are photographed end-to-end to spot corrosion, debris build-up, poor laps, and signs of overflow staining. These areas are frequent leak sources, especially where leaf litter collects from nearby trees.
We check flashings around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, and any rooftop services visible, looking for lifting edges, splits, gaps, and patch repairs. Penetrations are high-risk points on multi-level roofs where movement and ageing sealants can cause leaks.
Drone angles allow us to assess gutter lines for sagging, rust, separation at joints, and blockages at downpipe dropper points. Overflowing gutters can send water back into eaves and walls, which is harder to diagnose once staining appears internally.
We focus on the steep sides, upper storey transitions, and sections above garages or extensions where ladders would be unsafe or impractical. You receive annotated photos that show exactly where the concern sits on the roof layout.

Yes. Many Vermont South homes have ageing concrete tile roofs where cracking, slipped tiles, and failing ridge pointing can be hard to spot from the ground—especially on a 2 storey layout. A drone assessment captures close-up images of ridges, valleys, and junctions so you can confirm the roof’s condition, identify early leak risks, and plan targeted repairs rather than guessing.
We prioritise the areas most likely to leak or deteriorate: ridge capping and pointing, valleys, roof-to-wall junctions, flashings around penetrations (vents, skylights and chimneys), and gutter lines including downpipe entry points. We also photograph upper-storey transitions and steep elevations where defects often go unnoticed. Findings are documented with images and clear notes.
A drone roof assessment identifies visible indicators and risk factors—such as cracked tiles, lifted flashings, blocked valleys, rusted sections, and overflow staining. While it can’t see inside roof cavities or confirm hidden moisture by itself, it’s excellent for locating likely entry points. If we see signs that suggest internal issues, we’ll recommend the next step to confirm the extent.
Yes. Tree cover is a common contributor to roof drainage problems in Vermont South, so we deliberately capture images of gutter runs, valley lines, and downpipe inlets where debris builds up. We look for visible leaf accumulation, signs of overflow, and areas where water may be backing up under tiles or behind fascia. This helps you prioritise cleaning and any repairs.
Weather and safety always come first. Strong winds, rain, and low visibility can limit image quality and safe operation, and we’ll advise if rescheduling is needed. We also confirm the immediate surroundings on-site—such as nearby trees and access points—to plan a stable flight path and capture the key roof elevations of your 2 storey property.
