Drone Roof Surveys in Weymouth

Weymouth's tall seafront terraces and guest houses are among the hardest roofs in Dorset to inspect properly. There's often no safe ladder position at the front, parapets hide the gutters away completely, and putting up scaffolding just to find out whether there's a problem is an expensive way to ask a question.

A drone answers that question first. We photograph the whole roof at close range and give you a written assessment of what the images show.

Especially useful in Weymouth for

  • Parapet and box gutters that cannot be seen from the ground at all
  • Four-storey seafront terraces with no rear access
  • Guest houses and let property where a scaffold would disrupt trading
  • Post-storm damage assessment for an insurance claim
  • Pre-purchase checks on coastal property with an unknown roof history
  • Chimney stacks, ridge lines and lead detail on exposed elevations

What the report covers

Covering condition, fixings and slippage, ridge and verge, valleys and parapet gutters, flashings, stacks and rainwater goods — each backed up with imagery and a plain-English view on severity and urgency. If nothing needs doing, we'll say so, and you'll have a dated record of it either way.

Flying safely on the coast

Coastal wind is the main limiting factor, so we book surveys for suitable conditions rather than squeeze them into a bad day. Flights are planned in line with CAA rules and around people, property and any airspace restriction that applies.
