RJ Evans Flat Roofing Limited provides drone roof surveys to inspect inaccessible roof areas, record visible roofing defects, and support accurate maintenance, repair, and condition assessments. A drone roof survey is the process of using an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and video of roofs and associated building components. The survey records roof membranes, coverings, joints, flashings, penetrations, outlets, gutters, edges, chimneys, rooflights, and other areas that may be difficult or unsafe to inspect from ground level.During the survey, the drone captures the roof from multiple heights, angles, and positions to document its condition and locate visible signs of damage. These may include cracked or displaced materials, failed detailing, blocked drainage, standing water, corrosion, vegetation growth, surface deterioration, and potential routes of water ingress. Thermal or specialist sensors may also be used where required and suitable for the investigation.
Drone roof surveys provide visual evidence that supports property maintenance, construction inspections, insurance assessments, repair planning, and further roofing investigations. They reduce the need for immediate physical access, minimise disruption, and allow large or complex roof areas to be assessed efficiently. RJ Evans Flat Roofing Limited carries out drone roof surveys to identify roofing defects, document inaccessible areas, and help property owners determine whether maintenance, repair, or closer inspection is required.
Drone roof surveys utilise unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assess the condition of roofs by capturing detailed images and videos. This method allows for a thorough inspection of hard-to-reach areas without the need for scaffolding or manual access, making the process more time- and cost-efficient. Drone surveys are particularly advantageous for large commercial buildings, as they can quickly cover extensive roof areas. Advanced techniques like thermal imaging can be incorporated to detect underlying issues such as water ingress or heat loss that may not be apparent through standard visual inspections. Studies by recognised industry bodies, such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), highlight how drone technology can improve the speed and accuracy of roof inspections, reducing costs associated with traditional inspection methods. This approach not only enhances safety but also helps to identify potential problems early, enabling timely repairs and extending the lifespan of the roof.
• Time and Cost Effective. The survey can be carried out far faster as no set up costs such as ladders and scaffolding needs to be set up. Also, less manpower is required to carry out the survey. All this leads to a reduced cost.
• Minimal Disruption. With a drone survey, no areas of the property being surveyed need to be closed. This saves the disruption of clearing areas and in commercial properties the cost of any lost productivity
• Less Health and Safety Risk. Roof surveys do carry an element of risk. This is especially true in high buildings and difficult to reach areas. The use off a drone roof survey eliminates any risk to human life.
• Complete Footage for your appraisal. With a drone roof survey the whole process is recorded on film. So, you can see for yourself the defective areas of the roof rather than having to place your trust in the surveyor conduction the roof survey. This means you can analyse the footage yourself, take in the evidence and come to your own decision as to what the appropriate course of action is.
