Drone Roof Inspections

See the whole roof without leaving the ground

Drone roof inspections give you a complete view of a roof’s condition without putting a person on a ladder, harness or scaffold. In a single flight we capture the entire surface — ridge lines, valleys, flashings, penetrations and gutters — at close range and from angles a ground survey can’t reach. The result is a clear, geotagged record of what’s actually happening up there, delivered as high-resolution visual and thermal imagery you can act on.

For property owners and facilities teams, that means faster answers, fewer access costs, and no working-at-height exposure for your people during the initial survey.

Who it’s for

• Facilities and building managers tracking condition across a portfolio
• Strata managers and body corporates documenting common-property roofs
• Commercial and industrial asset owners with large or hard-to-access rooftops
• Builders and roofing contractors scoping repairs before quoting
• Property buyers and managers wanting a pre-purchase or handover record

What’s captured and delivered

Each inspection combines close-range visual imagery with radiometric thermal capture, so you see both the physical condition and the temperature patterns that can indicate trapped moisture or heat loss. You receive:

• Curated high-resolution stills of the full roof and problem areas
• Radiometric thermal imagery highlighting moisture and heat anomalies
• A geotagged defect log pinning each finding to its location
• An annotated PDF condition report
• An orthomosaic roof map for larger or multi-building sites

Findings are presented as indicative aerial data — they identify visible and thermal anomalies for further assessment. Where a certified structural, waterproofing or engineering inspection is legally required, our report supports and directs that work rather than replacing it.

Our process

1. Scope — you share the site, roof type and what you need answered.
2. Site and airspace check — we confirm access, conditions and the airspace over the property before the day.
3. Capture — a focused flight recording visual and thermal imagery across the full roof.
4. Analysis — we review the imagery and mark visible and thermal anomalies.
5. Reporting — a geotagged defect log and annotated PDF, typically within 3–5 business days.

Why it’s worth it

An aerial survey reduces downtime and disruption on site, removes working-at-height risk for personnel during the initial inspection, and gives you a repeatable, time-stamped record you can compare year on year. That makes maintenance planning, insurance documentation and contractor briefing far simpler.

It also sharpens quoting. Instead of a contractor guessing at scope from the ground, they work from geotagged imagery that shows exactly where the flashing has lifted, which sheets are corroded and where ponding is occurring — so repair scopes are tighter and revisits fewer. For multi-building portfolios, a consistent annual survey turns roof condition into data you can budget against rather than a series of reactive call-outs.

Airspace and safety

Our CASA-certified pilots operate under CASA standard operating conditions, including keeping a 30m separation from people not involved in the operation. Airspace near controlled zones and aerodromes is checked live for every booking, and flights in those areas are subject to CASA approval. We confirm what’s achievable at your address before we attend, so there are no surprises on the day.
