Drone Roof Inspections
Drone Roof Survey and Inspection
Benefits of a UAV Roof Inspection
- Cost-effective versus traditional inspection methods
- Speed of survey
- Access terraced or locked-in buildings easily
- Reduced risk to the roof itself from ladders and machinery
- Reduces the need for expensive scaffolding or cherry pickers until confirmed necessary
- Reducing the risk of injury and the need for dangerous working conditions such as working at heights
- Assist with insurance claims
- Listed building inspection criteria and compliance
- Evidence of works remediation for insurance companies and piece of mind
In the case of older houses or period homes, ladders or cherry-pickers often are not an option. In built-up areas, this can be even more of a challenge. Terraced houses and commercial properties locked in on both sides make inspection time-consuming and costly. Drones for home inspections are ideal in this case
Roofs are dangerous, and working at height is always challenging. Ensuring workers’ safety is paramount; drones can reduce this risk and keep employees safe.
Drone roof inspections are ideal for asbestos roofs. No weight is being placed on the roof surface, so there is no risk of the asbestos tiles breaking. We can survey the roof and provide the footage so the roof is preserved and can be treated effectively.
We will be happy to assist if you need a drone roof inspection. We will discuss the brief with you, explain the benefits of drone roof inspection, or if you have engaged a surveyor, work with them, and give you the results and evidence you need.

What if a drone isn't suitable due to access restrictions
We have catered for that and have a 10m pole with a special 25 x zoom camera that can be triggered remotely, so we can still help.
Often sites are locked-in, and there is no safe take-off and landing site. We are one of the few, if not the only, operators providing this service in Ireland.
Drone Services Ireland has added the DJI H20T (Thermal) and the H20, a 23 times optical zoom lens, to our equipment. We are one of the only providers in Ireland with this equipment, meaning we provide unrivalled image capture. Check out the level of detail from the sample video.
