Drone services for property managers and building owners

Thermal capture locates trapped moisture and insulation loss in flat roofing, outlining and locating wet areas so a whole roof problem becomes a short list of specific places for your roofer or engineer to open up. Contrast is strongest pre dawn, which is when these flights are scheduled.

Close visual capture documents membrane, parapets, flashing, rooftop equipment, cladding, sealant and glazing across a full elevation. Findings are located rather than loose, so a repair crew knows where to go.

Portfolio work is considerably cheaper per building than booking sites separately, because mobilisation is the fixed cost. Post storm documentation produces a dated, georeferenced condition record for a claim, and area takeoffs give membrane and material quantities without anyone going up.

Common questions

Can a drone find a roof leak?

A thermal flight locates areas where moisture is trapped in the roof assembly, showing up as temperature anomalies once the surface has cooled. You get the wet areas outlined, located and measured, which turns a whole roof problem into a short list of specific places to open up.

Do you need roof access?

None at all, and that is most of the point. There is no lift, no ladder and nobody on the roof, which removes the fall exposure and the access cost from the inspection entirely.

When is the best time to scan a roof?

Pre dawn or shortly after sunset. Thermal contrast is what makes wet insulation visible, and after a day of solar loading the whole roof reads warm.

Can you inspect several buildings in one visit?

Yes. Portfolio work is common and considerably cheaper per building than booking them separately, since mobilisation is the fixed cost.
