When people notice a leak, hear something on the roof, or suspect storm damage, they’re often left unsure of what to do next. Getting someone up there can be risky, costly, or delayed — especially after bad weather when roofing companies are booked out. Traditional inspections might require ladders, scaffolding, or even walking on fragile tiles, which adds expense and potential damage.

That’s where aerial roof inspections come in. With a drone, I can quickly capture detailed images of your entire roof without anyone needing to climb up. It’s faster, safer, and gives you a clear picture of what’s going on — so you can make informed decisions about repairs, quotes, or insurance claims.

In many cases, it helps you catch small issues before they become big repairs, potentially saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

When you book a roof inspection with me, you’re getting more than just a few drone photos — you’re getting a professional, repeatable service backed by a clear and consistent workflow. Every inspection follows a set process: from careful flight planning and systematic image capture to easy-to-understand reports with high-resolution visuals. Unlike other drone operators who take a “point and shoot” approach — flying with no real plan and delivering a handful of random photos — I ensure every critical part of the roof is covered. That means no guesswork, no missed areas, and no confusion. You get exactly what you paid for: a clear visual record of your roof’s condition, delivered to a consistent standard every time. 

You can expect the following:

- Annotated images (as shown)

- ALL the original files

- A Inspection Report (on what I have seen and made note of)

Additionally, depending on the circumstances I may choose to also provide the following:

- A 3D model of the roof

- An Orthomosaic

- A Digital Surface Model

In this case, the client was experiencing persistent noise in their roof caused by a possum but was unsure exactly where it was entering or nesting. The goal was to quickly locate the source without invasive or risky inspections.

For this inspection, I provided the client with carefully selected annotated images that highlighted key findings, which were included in a detailed inspection report. To help pinpoint the possum’s entry and activity areas, I also delivered an orthomosaic map, giving a clear, easy-to-understand overview of the entire roof. Despite the north-eastern corner being physically inaccessible, the orthomosaic still provided clear visual coverage of the entire roof, allowing for confident analysis. This visual evidence was intended to assist the client in negotiating roof repair service quotes. Additionally, the client received all original photos and videos captured during the flight, ensuring full transparency and access to the complete dataset. 

Shown below are links to the files that were sent to my client. For privacy reasons, all sensitive information has been redacted — but the deliverables themselves reflect the quality and structure you can expect from every inspection.

With the exception of the orthomosaic (which I include when appropriate or upon request), everything shown here is part of my standardised workflow: annotated images, original files, and a clear, easy-to-read inspection report.
