GET A QUOTE

Our drone roof and gutter inspections provide a safe, accurate visual assessment of your property without the need for ladders, scaffolding or working at height. Using high-resolution drones, we capture clear aerial images and video that help identify visible issues early and support informed maintenance decisions.

What the inspection covers

We inspect roofs and guttering from multiple angles to document condition and highlight areas that may need attention, including:

  • Broken, slipped or missing roof tiles

  • Cracked or exposed mortar along ridges and verges

  • Blocked, overflowing or damaged guttering

  • Signs of weather damage, wear or deterioration

  • Potential leak points and areas of concern

Imagery focuses on clarity and detail, allowing homeowners, contractors and property managers to understand what’s happening before any work is planned.

What you receive

Following the inspection, you’ll receive:

  • High-resolution aerial photographs

  • Stabilised aerial video where helpful

  • Clear visuals showing roof sections, gutters and problem areas

  • Files suitable for sharing with contractors, insurers or maintenance teams

(Reports are visual in nature and designed to support decision-making rather than replace a physical repair quotation.)

Why use a drone inspection?

Drone inspections replace traditional access methods and significantly reduce risk while improving visibility.

Customer Testimonials

  • Hugh, Petworth

    Aerial Dynamics inspected our roof and gutters after we noticed overflow in heavy rain. The drone survey captured clear images of blocked guttering and a slipped tile, and the footage highlighted the exact section that needed attention. The report included high-resolution photos and a short video, which helped our roofer quote accurately without multiple site visits. The whole process avoided ladders and reduced risk, and the files arrived quickly in a simple digital format.

  • Duncan, Chichester

    We manage several rental properties and Aerial Dynamics surveyed a two-storey roof where access is awkward. The inspection documented the roof condition, identified areas of wear around the ridge, and provided visuals that we could share with our contractor. The service saved time, replaced an initial scaffolding plan, and supported our maintenance planning with clear evidence.

  • Annabelle, Worthing

    Aerial Dynamics assessed the roofline and gutter runs on our commercial unit and captured detailed imagery of the elevations and drainage points. The drone footage confirmed where debris had accumulated and showed several sections that required cleaning and minor repair. The images supported our internal maintenance sign-off and reduced disruption by avoiding access equipment during working hours.

  • Rob, Littlehampton

    After a storm, we wanted a quick check without anyone going onto the roof. Aerial Dynamics completed a drone inspection, recorded high-definition video of the tiles and flashing, and flagged a damaged area that needed attention. The visuals gave us confidence about what was fine and what needed repair, and the service delivered everything promptly.

Roof & Gutter Inspection FAQs

  • The inspection provides high-resolution aerial images and video of roofs, gutters and other hard-to-reach external areas. It documents visible condition issues such as broken tiles, blocked guttering, wear, or signs of damage to help inform next steps.

  • A drone inspection can highlight visible signs that may indicate a leak, such as displaced tiles, damaged flashing, or areas of deterioration. It does not replace a hands-on repair inspection but helps identify where further investigation may be needed.

  • No. Drone inspections remove the need for ladders, scaffolding or working at height, making the process safer, quicker and more cost-effective.

  • Yes. Flights are carefully planned and carried out with safety and privacy in mind. Using a drone avoids the risks associated with climbing onto roofs or accessing difficult areas manually.

  • No. The drone does not touch the building. All imagery is captured remotely, so there is no physical contact with tiles, gutters or structures.

  • This service provides visual inspection imagery rather than a written structural report. The visuals are intended to support decision-making and planning, not to replace a physical repair quotation or survey.
