Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close-up aerial photos of ridge caps, hip lines and mortar pointing to identify cracking, shrinkage and displaced sections that can let water track under tiles—especially along long ridge runs common on larger Wheelers Hill roofs.
We inspect valleys, box gutters (where present) and roof-to-wall junctions for debris build-up, rusting, lifting edges and poor drainage. These junctions are frequent leak starters on two-storey homes with extensions, alfresco tie-ins or garage interfaces.
The drone survey highlights slipped tiles, cracked corners, missing pieces and uneven tile lines. These issues can open pathways for wind-driven rain and can be missed from ground level on steep or high second-storey pitches.
We focus on flashings around chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents and other roof penetrations, looking for lifted edges, separation, sealant failures and corrosion. These are common weak points where two-storey access is difficult without specialist equipment.
Where visible, we check for gutter sagging, overflow staining, vegetation build-up and obvious blockages near downpipe drop points. This helps flag drainage issues that can cause overflow into eaves and internal dampness during heavy rainfall.
We provide clear, location-based images of observed defects so you can obtain accurate repair quotes or use the evidence during purchase discussions. Aerial images help trades understand height, access constraints and the specific roof section involved.

Yes. Many Wheelers Hill two-storey homes have tiled roofs with multiple ridges, valleys and junctions that are difficult to view safely from the ground. A drone assessment lets us photograph these areas closely to identify slipped or cracked tiles, deteriorated pointing, valley debris and flashing gaps. It’s a practical option when access is high, steep or fragile.
A drone assessment focuses on visible external elements: tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings and drainage points. It can’t confirm the condition of hidden components such as internal battens, under-tile sarking, or roof framing unless there are visible signs that suggest a problem. If the drone imagery indicates likely moisture entry, we’ll recommend the most suitable follow-up inspection.
We can often observe gutter lines, obvious debris build-up, sagging sections and overflow staining from aerial angles, which helps identify areas needing cleaning or repair. However, the drone can’t fully confirm internal blockages or the condition inside downpipes. If drainage looks compromised, we’ll note the specific sections and the likely consequences so you can target maintenance effectively.
Yes. Where accessible by line of sight, we pay close attention to valleys, box gutter sections (if present), and gutter runs under tree cover, because leaf litter can dam water and force it back under tiles. We also look for staining and overflow marks along fascia and eaves that suggest recurring drainage issues during heavy rain.
We can assess around solar arrays by photographing panel edges, roof areas adjacent to the installation, and visible mounting zones. The drone can help highlight tile disturbance, debris build-up behind panels, and potential flashing concerns where cabling or mounts penetrate the roof. We won’t interfere with the system, but we will report any visible risks that warrant a specialist check.
