Many of the examples above are images from the same original set of photographs, showing the high level of detail that we can capture.

 

Additionally we can fly in the presence of a qualified surveyor, with the surveyor receiving a live feed to a tablet or other mobile device, enabling him to have visual access to the roof or other structure that would not normally be available.  Also the surveyor can provide instruction on any areas where more detail or additional images / views may be required.

 

Further examples of our roof survey work across Berkshire, the Thames Valley etc can be seen below, showing close-ups and the high level of detail that can be achieved with the latest type of drone technology used by Thames Valley Drones. Ideal for identifying any issues: cracked tiles, loose or broken ridge tiles, faulty flashing, crumbling mortar etc.

 

Roof surveys start from £499** (inclusive)

The benefits to the building's management company

​

  • Significantly reduced costs not only in terms of financial outlay but also in resource to manage the inspection project not just in terms of scaffolding, the various permissions to erect scaffolding in this busy high street location but also in resources to carry out the inspection and meet the various health and safety requirements needed.

  • Much reduced health & safety risk.

  • Non-invasive process with no risk to damage to the period structure.

  • Eliminating the need to have scaffolding at all in this case on the basis of the information provided by the inspection & survey work.

  • Minimal disruption / footprint to the business, its staff and customers plus the business' neighbours and local residents / general public - Thames Valley  Drones was able to precision fly from the very small footprint available from the flat roof at the rear of the building.

  • Reduced survey time (40 minutes flying time in total) as opposed to man days to have an inspection team on site to provide the same information.

  • Provided greater access to areas where scaffolding would be extremely costly or impossible to reach.

  • High quality / High resolution imagery much of which would not be possible even with scaffolding.

  • The ability to zoom in on specific areas in individual images.

  • Ongoing resource for facilities management teams to use long after the drone survey is complete

  • Easy to repeat for this site if a more detailed inspection is required and easy to replicate for other similar sites.

  • Environmentally-friendly solution

* Aerial roof surveys provide an aerial record of the exterior roof and is in no way intended as a replacement for a structural or other survey carried out by a qualified professional.  However an aerial roof survey will provide a valuable record of a roof's condition for a qualified professional to use in their assessment, especially where they would not normally have ready or cost efficeint access ie requiring the expensive scaffolding, cherry picker or tower.

 

** Roof survey prices start at £499 inclusive for a standard 4 bed max / 2 storey property, for commercial or other large roof surveys please contact us for pricing.
