The Advantage of Drone Surveys for Roofs

From monitoring wildlife to taking stunning panoramic videos, drones have expanded the capabilities of what we can do in terms of collecting footage and analysing data. They have even become a vital tool in the roofing industry, where surveys are a core component of the initial analysis for any work or to assess the value of a property.

Because your roof is such an important part of your building, gathering as much information as possible helps us in so many ways. Our drone survey service is available for all domestic and commercial properties, but why should you opt for a drone survey for your roof? Here are four reasons we recommend them at Roofer UK Network Ltd.

 

4 benefits of drone surveys for roofs

• More efficient surveys – Ordinary roof surveys can take many hours or even days for larger, more complex buildings. The weather can also impact your roof survey when conducted manually, as it may become unsafe to access certain areas of the structure while there is heavy wind or rain at the time the inspection is scheduled for.On the other hand, with a drone survey, these issues are eliminated, since a drone can be used to survey your roof in almost any weather. They can also accomplish a detailed report in much less time because of their agility and fewer safety concerns.

• More accurate surveys – For the most comprehensive and accurate surveys, drones are ideal. Thanks to high-resolution cameras, the imagery we get from drones can be analysed in greater detail to assess the condition of all areas of the roof. This means we can be more certain of all the different aspects of the work required, delivering a better service for your property.

• Improved safety – We take safety very seriously, both for you and for our team. When it comes to surveying roofs there is always an element of risk involved due to the nature of working at heights. However, using a drone eliminates the need for ladders and for anyone to access the roof of your building. Instead, we can keep everyone’s feet firmly on the ground, dramatically reducing the risk of any accidents, injury or further damage to dilapidated roofs.
• More cost-effective surveys – Where it might ordinarily take a team of several people to safely carry out a roof inspection over the course of a day, a drone makes it easy for us to capture imagery and analyse your roof in a shorter amount of time with significantly less manpower. That means it’s a more cost-effective option than traditional surveys, allowing you to get a more thorough inspection for your money.
