"There’s a particular quietness up high in Plymouth that you don’t get anywhere else. I found it again last week, my drone humming softly beside the clock face of The Victoria, that beautiful Grade II listed building. Every year, I’m commissioned for their annual roof inspection, and every year, I’m struck by the same thing. From that unique vantage point, you can see the whole city waking up – the sun catching the water in the Sound, the light on the Royal William Yard. That's when I realised this work isn't just about checking tiles. It's about perspective. It's about giving you a clear view of your property's health, without the risk or the guesswork."

Using high-resolution drones, I provide a safe and thorough inspection of your roof, whether it's a terraced house in Stonehouse, a commercial unit in the City Centre, or a large warehouse. I’ll give you the clear evidence you need to make informed decisions.

Roof Inspection & Survey Services
1. Residential Roof Inspections
From spotting a few slipped slates after a winter storm to a full pre-purchase survey, I provide a clear view of your home's roof. I've inspected everything from Victorian terraces near the Barbican to new builds in Plymstock. I always advise homeowners to get a survey after the autumn has passed – it's the best time to spot damage from fallen branches and check gutters before winter really sets in.
2. Commercial Roof Surveys
For business owners and property managers, regular roof surveys are a smart investment. I conduct detailed inspections of commercial units, retail parks, and industrial buildings. I've worked on large sites like the Cattedown trading estates, and I always plan for the famous Plymouth breeze, using equipment built to handle it for stable, sharp images every time.
3. Pre- & Post-Work Verification
Having work done on your roof? I can provide a photographic record before any work begins, and a final survey once it's complete. This gives you undeniable proof of the condition and protects you from disputes. It's a simple step that offers huge peace of mind.
4. Storm Damage Documentation
When the famous Plymouth weather turns, it can leave a mark. If your property has been hit by high winds, hail, or heavy rain, I can provide immediate, objective documentation for your insurance company. These clear, time-stamped images become a vital part of your claim, providing the evidence you need for a fair settlement.
5. Scheduled Maintenance Checks
The best way to manage your roof is to stay ahead of problems. An annual or bi-annual inspection helps you track the condition over time, spotting moss growth, wear and tear, or minor damage early. For a building like The Victoria, this yearly check is part of their essential maintenance plan, saving them money in the long run.
6. Hard-to-Access Roof Inspections
Some roofs are simply too high, too steep, or too complex to access safely. Drones are the perfect solution. I can safely survey church spires, clock towers, and complex architectural roofs without the need for expensive scaffolding or putting anyone at risk.
7. Solar Panel Inspection
Keeping your solar array in perfect working order is key to maximising your return. A visual inspection from the ground often isn't enough. My drone-based surveys provide a safe way to check for faulty cells, debris buildup, or wiring issues that are invisible from below.
