If you’re looking for professional drone roof inspections in Leeds, our CAA qualified team delivers high-resolution aerial imagery, thermal scans, and detailed reports without the need for scaffolding or expensive access equipment such as MEWPs. We work with homeowners, landlords, roofing contractors, surveyors, and commercial property managers to quickly and safely identify roof issues while minimising disruption.

Leeds properties present unique challenges for roof inspections due to the city’s mix of building types. From Victorian terraces and heritage-listed buildings in Headingley, Chapel Allerton, and Roundhay to modern apartments in the city centre and large industrial units in Cross Green, no two buildings are the same. Older slate roofs are prone to slipping, cracking, and weather damage, while more modern materials can still suffer from wear caused by West Yorkshire’s frequent rain, high winds, and winter frosts.

Many properties in densely built areas have steep pitches or restricted access, making traditional inspections costly and time-consuming, and heritage restrictions often require non-invasive methods to avoid damaging historic structures.

Our advanced drone technology overcomes these challenges. We start with a consultation to understand your property type, location, and any specific concerns. Each flight is carefully planned and carried out in full compliance with UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations, including any necessary checks for Leeds’ controlled airspace. We capture ultra-high-resolution images and 4K video from multiple angles, allowing every detail of your roof to be inspected from ground level. For clients needing deeper insights, we offer thermal imaging using the DJI Mavic 3 Thermal to detect heat loss, water ingress, or insulation problems invisible to the naked eye.

Our flight planning process takes into account not only the roof itself, but also everything happening on the ground. Using advanced mapping tools such as Drone Assist, we assess nearby obstacles, potential overflight of uninvolved people, traffic density, restricted zones (such as prisons), and any temporary restrictions. This ensures we select the safest possible launch and recovery points while capturing the required imagery. We also factor in environmental conditions such as wind direction, weather patterns, and potential interference from tall structures.

Our drones are equipped with obstacle detection sensors and safety features that automatically prevent collisions with trees, buildings, and other obstacles at height. These technologies allow us to conduct precise inspections even in complex urban environments while minimising risk to people and property.

All flights are conducted with maximum attention to safety and ensure operations cause minimise disruption.

We provide drone roof inspections across all of Leeds, including Leeds city centre, Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Morley, Rothwell, Garforth, Pudsey, Horsforth, Yeadon, Cross Green, Hunslet, and Beeston, as well as the wider West Yorkshire area including Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and surrounding villages.
