Rapid Call-Out
Tell us about the roof and we'll arrange a survey. For active leaks, ask about a rapid call-out.
A drone roof survey is a close-up inspection of a roof carried out by a camera-equipped drone, producing HD footage, a written condition report and a costed repair quotation, with no scaffolding and no one setting foot on the roof. The drone captures every part of the roof, including chimneys, valleys, flashing and flat sections that cannot be judged properly from the ground. Where there is an active leak or recent storm damage, the same visit doubles as an emergency assessment, and a temporary mitigation spray can be applied on the day to slow the water ingress while a permanent repair is arranged. Every survey ends with clear footage, a plain-English report and a quotation, so the next step is always your decision.
A drone roof inspection picks up the faults that stay hidden from ground level, because most roof problems are only visible from above or up close. Common findings include:
Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
Damaged or missing lead flashing around chimneys and abutments
Cracked flaunching and loose or damaged chimney pots
Blocked or sagging gutters and failed downpipe joints
Flat roof problems including blistering, splits and ponding water
Failed pointing on ridges, verges and chimney stacks
Fascia and soffit damage
Drainage issues such as water pooling in valleys or behind chimney stacks
A drone roof survey costs £400 plus VAT as a fixed call-out, which includes the full drone inspection, HD footage and photographs, temporary leak mitigation where needed, a written condition report and a repair quotation. If you go ahead with the recommended works through Bernard Andrews or an approved roofing partner, £200 is credited back against the final invoice, so the survey pays towards the repair. For an inspection on its own, a drone survey usually works out cheaper than hiring scaffolding or a cherry picker, and far quicker to arrange.
We maintain a network of vetted roofing professionals who have been assessed for quality, reliability and workmanship. Following our survey, we match each project with the most suitable specialist to ensure the best outcome for our clients.
We removed cracked flaunching and secured loose chimney pots to prevent water ingress, a common problem that often gets missed during a routine inspection. Faults at the top of a chimney stack sit well out of sight from ground level, which is exactly why a close view of the roof matters. A drone roof survey brings the camera right up to the flaunching, pots and flashing, so problems like this are picked up before they let water into the property.
Before

A drone roof survey is £400 plus VAT, covering the inspection, HD footage, temporary leak mitigation where needed, a condition report and a repair quotation. If you proceed with the works through Bernard Andrews or an approved roofing partner, £200 is credited back against the final invoice.
You can fly a small drone over your own property for personal use, but flying close to buildings and in built-up areas is governed by Civil Aviation Authority rules, and commercial surveys should be carried out by a qualified, insured pilot. Our surveys are flown by a CAA-approved drone pilot, fully insured for commercial work.
Most surveys take around 20 minutes on site for a typical house. The condition report and quotation follow shortly after the visit.
A drone roof survey is usually faster, safer and cheaper than putting up scaffolding for an inspection, and it captures detail that cannot be judged from the ground. You also keep the footage for insurance or a second opinion.
A drone inspection can identify the likely points where water is getting in, such as cracked flashing, failed pointing or slipped tiles. Where there is an active leak, temporary mitigation can be applied on the day to slow the ingress before a permanent repair.
Yes. Bernard Andrews can carry out the repair directly, or match the job to the most suitable specialist from our vetted roofing network. Either way you are not left with only a report, and £200 of the survey fee is credited back if you proceed.
You receive HD photographs and video footage, a written condition report of the roof, and a costed quotation for any recommended work.
