4K Ultra HD Roof Surveys
A Higher Standard in Roof Inspection with Drone Roof Surveys
What Our Roof Survey Service Covers
Every roof survey uses 4K Ultra HD drone technology to capture detailed footage of your entire roof. You see exactly what we see, with every tile, ridge, flashing, and gutter line recorded in high definition.
4K Ultra HD Drone Roof Survey
We fly a 4K drone over your roof to capture detailed footage of every section, identifying damage that cannot be seen from the ground or from a ladder.
Pre-Purchase Roof Survey
Buying a property? We survey the roof before you commit, giving you a clear picture of its condition and any work that will be needed.
Insurance Claim Roof Survey
We provide detailed evidence of storm damage, impact damage, or wear for insurance claims, with timestamped 4K footage and a written report.
Roof Condition Report
We provide a written condition report covering every part of your roof, explaining what is in good condition, what needs attention now, and what to monitor.
Storm Damage Assessment
After severe weather, we survey your roof quickly to assess the extent of damage and provide the evidence you need to arrange repairs or file a claim.
Flat Roof Survey
We inspect flat roofs for ponding, membrane damage, failed seams, and drainage problems that are difficult to spot without getting up on the roof.
Commercial Roof Survey
We survey commercial buildings, offices, and industrial units, providing detailed reports for facilities managers, landlords, and property management companies.
Scheduled Roof Health Checks
We offer annual drone surveys so you can track the condition of your roof over time and catch problems early before they lead to expensive repairs.
A drone survey is the safest and most accurate way to inspect a roof. There is no need for scaffolding or ladders, and the 4K footage gives a far more detailed view than a visual inspection from the ground. If the survey reveals any issues, we can carry out roof repairs straight away or provide a separate quote for larger work.

Roof Survey Costs in Cheltenham
The cost of a roof survey in Cheltenham depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the type of survey needed, and whether a written condition report is required.
A standard drone survey on a typical residential property is at the lower end of the scale. Larger properties, commercial buildings, and surveys that require a detailed written report for insurance or legal purposes will cost more.
The survey fee is deducted from the cost of any repair or maintenance work you book with us following the survey, so you are not paying twice.

Roof Surveys FAQs
What is a drone roof survey?
A drone roof survey uses a professional drone equipped with a 4K Ultra HD camera to capture detailed images and video of your entire roof. This allows us to inspect every tile, flashing, ridge, and valley without the need for scaffolding or ladders, making it safer, faster, and less disruptive than a traditional inspection.
How much does a roof survey cost in Cheltenham?
The cost of a roof survey depends on the size and complexity of your property. A drone survey is typically more affordable than a traditional scaffold-based inspection because it avoids scaffolding hire costs and takes less time. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your property.
Do I need a roof survey before buying a house?
A pre-purchase roof survey is highly recommended. A standard homebuyer’s report often does not include a detailed roof inspection, and hidden issues such as damaged tiles, failing flashings, or poor previous repairs can lead to expensive surprises after you move in. A drone survey gives you a clear picture of the roof’s condition before you commit.
How long does a drone roof survey take?
The drone flight itself typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the property. We then review the footage and produce a detailed report with annotated images highlighting any areas of concern. The full report is usually delivered within a few working days.
What will I receive after the survey?
You will receive a comprehensive roof condition report including high-resolution annotated images, a summary of findings, and clear recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed. This report can be used for insurance claims, property sales, or to plan future maintenance work.
Can a drone survey detect all roof problems?
A drone survey is excellent at identifying visible surface issues such as cracked, slipped, or missing tiles, damaged flashings, moss build-up, and blocked gutters. However, it cannot detect hidden issues beneath the tiles, such as deteriorated felt or timber damage. If our survey suggests underlying problems, we will recommend a more detailed physical inspection of the affected area.
