· Absolute Roofing 247
The safest way to look at a roof is often not to climb on it at all. That is why Absolute Roofing 247 now offers professional drone roof surveys across Greater Manchester, Stockport, West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas. A drone lets us see your roof up close while everyone stays safely on the ground.
Why a drone roof survey makes sense
Many roof problems sit in places that are hard to see from the street: the back of a chimney stack, a valley between two roof slopes, or the gutter above a conservatory. Getting a ladder up there is risky, and putting up scaffolding just to have a look costs money.
A drone survey gives us clear photographs and video footage of those hard-to-reach areas, often without the need for expensive scaffolding. It is safe, detailed and cost effective, and it means any roof repair we quote for is based on what is really there.
What we can check from the air
A drone roof survey can pick up the same problems a roofer looks for on a normal inspection, including:
- slipped, cracked or missing roof tiles and slates
- loose leadwork and damaged lead flashing
- chimney stacks, chimney pots and cowls
- gutters, valleys and other hard-to-reach roof areas
- general roof condition, for roof inspections and condition reports
We can also carry out general property, roof and site surveys.
When a drone survey is useful
There are lots of times a quick look from above can save worry and money:
- after high winds or a storm, when you are not sure if anything has moved
- when you have a damp patch inside and want to know where the water is getting in
- before buying a house, so you know the state of the roof
- on tall houses, steep roofs or chimneys that are hard to reach safely
- when you simply want peace of mind before winter
Keep your roof safe - and keep yourself safe
Please do not go up on your roof to check it yourself. Wet tiles, moss and old felt make roofs slippery, and a fall from height can be very serious. A drone survey or a visit from one of our roofers is the safe way to find out what is going on.
What happens next
Once we have looked at the photos and video, we explain what we found in plain words. If the roof is in good shape, we tell you. If it needs work, such as tile replacement, lead flashing repairs, chimney work or a flat roof repair, we give you a clear, free quote before anything starts. If a problem is urgent, our 24/7 emergency roofing service is there day and night.
