Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We film along ridges and hips to identify cracked mortar, gaps, and displaced capping. These defects are common on taller roofs where movement and weather exposure are higher, and they’re a frequent cause of wind-driven leaks.
We focus on valleys, boxed sections, and tie-ins where different roof planes meet. These areas are prone to debris build-up and corrosion, and they’re also where water can overflow back under tiles or into sarking.
For tiled roofs, we look for cracked, spalled or slipped tiles and disturbed areas around penetrations. For metal roofs, we check for loose fasteners, lifted laps, and surface corrosion that can progress into pinholes.
We capture close-up imagery around flashings at skylights, vents, and other roof penetrations to spot lifting, splitting sealant, and poorly dressed edges—typical entry points during heavy rain and gusty conditions.
We look along gutters for sagging, overflow staining, visible blockages, and rusted sections, and we check around downpipe dropper points where overflow and leaf build-up commonly start.
You receive clear images showing what we found and where it is on the roof. We note whether an item looks like routine maintenance, a likely leak risk, or something needing a qualified roofer for closer evaluation.

Yes. In Warrandyte South, tree cover can hide gutters and valleys and make ladder access awkward. A drone lets us see along gutter runs, check for debris build-up, and inspect valleys and flashings without needing to move through dense vegetation. It’s particularly helpful on 2 storey homes where the upper roofline is not visible from the yard or street.
We concentrate on the areas most likely to leak or deteriorate: ridge capping and pointing, valleys and roof junctions, flashings around penetrations, and the gutter line from above. We also scan the general roof covering for cracked or slipped tiles, lifted metal laps, rust patches, and signs of past repairs. Findings are supported with photos and location notes.
A drone assessment is an external inspection, so it won’t confirm moisture inside the roof cavity on its own. What it does well is identify likely entry points—failed flashings, displaced tiles, overflow paths from blocked gutters, and corrosion. If the imagery suggests a higher risk, we can recommend the next step, such as a roof space inspection or targeted roof repairs.
They can. Split-level and hillside homes often have multiple roof planes, more junctions, and sections that are hard to access safely from the ground. With a drone, we can follow each roof line, capture the high sections above stairwells or voids, and document how water is meant to flow across the different levels. This helps pinpoint where overflow or backflow is most likely.
Yes. Tiled roofs benefit from drone close-ups because individual cracked or slipped tiles can be hard to spot from the ground, especially on darker roofs or shaded areas. We also look at ridge capping, pointing, and the condition around skylights and vents where tiles are often cut. If we see widespread damage, we’ll note it so you can plan repairs or maintenance.
