What Can A Drone Roof Survey Inspect?
Our high-resolution drone roof inspections provide detailed views of areas that can be difficult, expensive or unsafe to access using traditional inspection methods.
Drone surveys can be used to inspect pitched roofs, flat roofs, chimneys, ridge and hip tiles, leadwork, flashings, roof coverings, eaves, fascias and guttering, as well as visible signs of sagging, deterioration, storm damage and ponding water.
For commercial properties, regular drone inspections can also form part of a planned preventative maintenance programme, helping building owners and property managers monitor roof condition and identify potential maintenance requirements before they develop into more significant problems.
CAA-Compliant Drone Operations
Our experienced drone pilots operate in accordance with current UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements and are fully insured for professional drone operations.
Our pilots hold the General VLOS Certificate (GVC), demonstrating the knowledge and practical competency required for professional drone operations.
From residential properties to complex commercial sites, built-up urban areas and historic buildings, every flight is carefully planned with safety, airspace, surrounding property and site-specific risks taken into consideration.
Where required, we also undertake site-specific risk assessments and flight planning, considering nearby buildings, roads, people, overhead cables and other potential hazards.
This careful approach allows us to operate safely and professionally across a wide range of locations while minimising disruption to properties, businesses and the public.
High-Resolution Drone Imagery
We use professional drone technology to capture ultra-high-resolution photographs and 4K video of roofs and difficult-to-access areas, providing a level of detail that can be difficult to achieve using traditional ground-based inspection methods.
Detailed imagery allows roof coverings, chimneys, leadwork, flashings, gutters, ridges and other building elements to be examined closely, helping to identify visible defects, deterioration, damage and areas requiring further attention.
Images provide a clear photographic record of the roof's condition and can be incorporated into survey reports, used for maintenance planning or retained for comparison during future inspections.
This is particularly valuable for annual and planned preventative maintenance programmes, allowing changes in roof condition to be monitored over time.
Professional Drone Roof survey Reports
We provide professional drone roof inspection reports, independent RICS roof condition reports, or high-resolution survey imagery for your own surveyor or building consultant.
Our detailed roof defect reports identify and map the location of visible issues, supported by high-resolution photographs to provide a clear record of defects, damage and areas requiring attention.
Where required, our drone survey imagery can be reviewed by an independent RICS surveyor and incorporated into a professional roof condition report for property management, planned maintenance and insurance requirements.
Alternatively, we can provide the complete high-resolution image set directly to your surveyor or consultant, giving them detailed aerial evidence to support their own reporting.
Thermal Drone Inspections & Solar PV Surveys
Professional Thermal Imaging for Solar Panels, Buildings & Commercial Properties
Using specialist thermal imaging drones, ProVision Drones provides residential and commercial thermal inspections across the UK, helping identify temperature anomalies and potential defects that may not be visible through conventional photography.
Our solar PV thermal surveys can help identify potential cell faults, hotspots, bypass diode issues and underperforming modules, supporting preventative maintenance, system performance assessments and insurance-related inspections.
Working with independent Level 3 Master Thermographers, we can provide professional thermal inspection reports, including surveys undertaken in accordance with IEC TS 62446-3 where applicable. Our services support homeowners, solar installers, commercial property managers and operators of larger photovoltaic installations.
Thermal drone inspections can also support investigations of building heat loss, insulation irregularities and potential moisture-related issues, subject to suitable survey conditions and further verification where required.
