Roof and building-envelope evidence
Drone Roof Inspections
Detailed aerial imagery of roofs and difficult-to-access elements, captured to support quotation, maintenance planning, condition review and post-work records.
Who this is for
For the people responsible for roofs, risk and repair
Designed for roofing contractors, surveyors, managing agents, facilities teams, commercial owners and project teams that need a clearer first view without unnecessary access arrangements.
See priority areas sooner
Obtain overview and close-detail imagery of agreed roof elements before deciding whether further access or specialist investigation is required.
Support clearer quotations
Give estimators and technical teams organised visual evidence of the areas relevant to the proposed works.
Create a reliable record
Document agreed conditions before work, after an event or following completion for comparison and communication.
Defined deliverables
What you can expect
- High-resolution overview and detail photographs
- Roof overview video where it adds value
- Labelled image schedule or annotations where agreed
- A clear record of the areas captured and any limitations
ALFA DRONES provides visual evidence and agreed capture outputs. A chartered survey, structural opinion, defect diagnosis or intrusive investigation is included only when separately arranged with an appropriately qualified professional.
A clear process
From site brief to usable output
Define the requirement
We agree the site, decision, priority areas, timing and intended use of the output.
Plan the operation
Access, people, property, airspace, weather and site controls are reviewed before attendance.
Deliver with context
Files are organised to the agreed brief, with the capture scope and relevant limitations made clear.
Common questions
What clients usually ask
Can a drone inspection replace physical access?
It can reduce uncertainty and help target further investigation, but some defects or concealed conditions may still require close physical or intrusive inspection.
Can you annotate suspected defects?
We can label agreed visible features and locations. Professional diagnosis remains with the appointed surveyor, engineer or specialist unless separately agreed.
What information should I send?
The site address, approximate height, roof type, priority areas, reason for the inspection and required deadline are the best starting points.
