Drone roof surveys are the best choice for inspecting rooftops due to their cost-effectiveness, safety, speed, detailed data, accessibility, and flexibility. With drones, there is no need for scaffolding or rope access, reducing the cost of the survey. Additionally, drones eliminate the need for people to access rooftops, making the process physically safer. Drones can quickly cover large rooftop areas, making the inspection process more efficient. They are equipped with high-resolution cameras that can capture detailed images and videos of a rooftop, making it easier to identify potential issues. Drones can reach areas of a rooftop that may be difficult or impossible for people to access, such as steep pitches or tight spaces. And with the current energy crisis, it is worth getting your roof checked out for gaps, missing tiles, and blocked drains, as this can impact heating your house and keeping it warm.
The duration of a drone roof survey will depend on the size of the roof and the level of detail required for the inspection. A small residential roof could take as little as 30 minutes to survey with a drone, while a larger commercial roof could take several hours. Additionally, the complexity and condition of the roof will also play a role in determining the length of the survey. For example, if the roof is in poor condition and requires a detailed inspection, it may take longer than a survey of a newer, well-maintained roof. It's also important to consider the weather conditions; if the weather is not suitable for flying a drone, the survey will have to be scheduled for another day.
