See Your Whole Roof, Without Anyone Going Up a Ladder.
Roof Professionals UK surveys Corby roofs by drone, free, with zero obligation. High-resolution photographs of every tile, ridge, valley, flashing and chimney, a plain-English explanation of what they show, and a quote built on evidence, not on someone squinting from a ladder.
Free Survey, Full Photographs, Zero Obligation
Paid inspection services charge for exactly this. Ours is free, because we would rather quote your roof from facts.
What a Drone Survey Actually Shows
The drone carries a high-resolution camera to within a metre or two of your roof, far closer than any ladder position. Every face of the roof is photographed in a single flight, answering the questions a ground-level glance cannot.
- Tiles and slates. Cracked, spalled or slipped concrete tiles, the kind that cover most of Corby's 1930s to 1970s semis, show up clearly along with how many and where.
- Ridges and verges. Mortar bedding that has shrunk or cracked away from ridge tiles, and verge caps lifting at the gable ends.
- Valleys and flashings. Moss build-up, split linings and lifted lead around chimneys, three of the most common leaks we see.
- Chimney stacks. The stack seen from every angle: leaning, eroded mortar joints, damaged pots and missing lead aprons.
- Gutter lines. Sagging, blocked or disconnected gutters that send water down the wall instead of the downpipe.
- Flat surfaces. Garage, dormer and extension roofs: ponding, splits, lifted trims and open joints photographed from directly above.
You get the photographs, a plain-English walkthrough of what they show, and a written quote for any work the roof genuinely needs. If the roof is sound, you get the reassurance and we go on our way. That is the deal, and it costs you nothing either way.
Drone Survey vs Ladder Inspection
Traditional inspections have a habit of stopping where the ladder stops. A roofer on a ladder at the eaves sees two or three metres of one slope; the ridge, the rear face, the chimney flashing and the flat roof over the bay all stay unseen. Drone surveys remove that blind spot, and they remove the risk too.
Coverage first. The flight photographs every face of the roof, including the ones nobody can safely reach, so nothing is judged on probability. Evidence second: a memory becomes "a few tiles at the back", while a drone survey becomes photographs you can keep for your insurer or a buyer's solicitor. Safety third, and not least: falls from ladders and roofs are among the most common serious accidents in the trade. If a camera can go up instead of a person, the camera goes up.
There is one honest limitation worth knowing. A drone sees the outside of the roof brilliantly, but it cannot see through it. If the survey points to a fault inside the structure, we will tell you honestly what a hands-on check would add. What we will not do is invent detail the photographs do not show.
Who Books a Drone Roof Survey in Corby
Homeowners
A damp smell in the loft, a stain that will not dry, or just a roof old enough to ask questions. Find out before it becomes urgent.
Buyers and sellers
Our detailed home buyer roof reports put evidence behind the biggest purchase of your life, and give sellers a chance to fix surprises before a surveyor finds them.
Insurance claims
Storm damage documented from above, timestamped and reported in the format insurers ask for, with the repair works undertaken by us where the claim proceeds.
Landlords
One flight photographs roof after roof across a portfolio, leaving a maintenance order for the ones that need it.
After a storm
Corby's exposed ridgelines take a beating in named storms. A quick survey tells you whether the roof shrugged it off or lost tiles doing it.
Before other trades start
Solar installers, scaffolders and builders all want a roof fit to work on. A survey settles it before their crews arrive.
Why Our Drone Roof Survey Is Free
Fair question, given that national firms charge for exactly this service. The honest answer is that we are a roofing company, not a surveying firm. The drone survey is how we quote accurately, so we would fly it anyway. Charging you for the photographs would make our own quoting process more expensive for both of us, and it would put a wall between you and the evidence.
So the survey is free, the findings are yours whatever you decide, with no obligation to have any work done. If the roof needs nothing, you have gained photographs and a clean bill of health. If it needs something, you have gained a written quote built on what your own roof actually looks like. Either way, you decide with your eyes open, and if repair work does follow, our roof repairs in Corby and roofing services pages show the standard it will be done to.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Corby?
Nothing. Our drone surveys are free and carry no obligation. We use them to quote accurately, so you get the photographs and a plain-English explanation of what they show whether or not you go ahead with any work.
What do I actually receive after the survey?
The survey photographs of your roof, a plain-English explanation of anything the pictures show, and a written quote for any work the roof genuinely needs. If the roof is sound, the photographs and the reassurance are yours to keep.
Is a drone survey better than a ladder inspection?
For coverage and safety, yes. The drone photographs every face, ridge, valley and chimney from close range, including slopes a ladder never reaches, with nobody leaving the ground. Where a fault might sit inside the structure, we will tell you honestly if a hands-on check would add anything.
Can the survey be used for insurance or buying a house?
Yes. We undertake insurance repair works and provide the detailed reports insurers ask for, and we produce detailed home buyer reports for people purchasing a property. The timestamped survey photographs are exactly the evidence both rely on.
