What Is a Drone Roof Inspection?
A drone roof inspection uses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a high-resolution camera to safely and quickly capture images of your roof from above and all sides. This allows for a full visual inspection without needing to physically climb onto the roof or set up costly access equipment.
In Wetherby, this is especially useful for:
- Historic or hard-to-access properties near the town centre
- Pitched roofs with limited ground access
- Modern housing developments in areas like Spofforth Hill or Kirk Deighton
- Commercial units in Thorp Arch and Sandbeck Industrial Estates
Who Is It For?
Drone roof inspections are ideal for:
✅ Homeowners looking for peace of mind or preparing for repairs
✅ Roofing companies wanting before/after images of their work
✅ Letting agents and landlords needing regular property checks
✅ Insurance professionals requiring fast documentation
✅ Building surveyors seeking aerial imagery for reports
✅ Property developers and managers in and around Wetherby
Our Process
- Free Planning & Consultation
We start by reviewing your location in the Wetherby area using mapping tools. If you’re near flight-sensitive zones (e.g. near private estates or busy roads), we plan accordingly. - On-Site Drone Flight
We carry out an on site survey and risk assessment before launching the drone. All flights are completed under Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) guidelines. - Image Capture
We collect a full set of high-resolution images (up to 48MP) covering the entire roof structure — including tiles, flashing, chimneys, gutters, ridgelines, valleys, and more.
Thermal imaging is also available for flat roofs or to identify heat loss and water ingress. - Image Delivery
You receive your photos the same day (where possible) via secure download link. We can also create annotated reports on request.
Technical Features
- 4K/48MP Visual Cameras for ultra-sharp roof imagery
- Thermal Imaging available for detecting leaks and insulation issues
- GPS Accuracy with RTK drone systems when mapping is required
- Licensed & Insured under the CAA Operational Authorisation (GVC)
