The service
What Roof & Drone Inspections Involves
A roof inspection is a close look at the condition of your roof: tiles or slates, ridges, flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters and, where accessible, the loft. Where access is difficult or the roof is high, we can inspect by drone.
You'll want one if you've noticed a leak or damp, after a storm, before buying a house, or if your roof hasn't been looked at in years and you'd like peace of mind.
Afterwards you get a photographic report, so you aren't just taking our word for it. You can see what's sound, what needs attention now and what can wait.
If it's left
What Happens If You
Wait Another Winter
Unseen damage
Many roof problems can't be seen from the ground until they've already caused damage inside.
Guesswork quotes
Quotes without a proper inspection lead to surprises and extra costs once work starts.
Buying blind
A roof problem missed before purchase becomes your bill after completion.
Small issues grow
A slipped tile or cracked mortar caught early is a cheap fix. Caught late, it's a big one.
Common Mistakes
Homeowners Make
- Relying on a view from the ground

Pre-purchase inspections
Buying a house? We can inspect the roof for you. A £75 fee applies for non-owners.
Homes and Rental Properties
Most of our roof & drone inspections work is for homeowners, from terraces and semis to bungalows and detached houses. We also work for landlords who need a reliable fix and a clear record of what was done. Every job gets the same approach: a proper look at the roof, photos of what we find, and a fixed price before anything starts. If you're a landlord or a prospective buyer rather than the owner occupier, a £75 fee applies to the inspection; for homeowners it's free.
How to Choose a Roofer
Ask for a written, fixed price rather than a day rate, so the cost can't creep up once the scaffold is up. Ask to see photos of the problem before agreeing to anything. Check the guarantee, and get it in writing. Ask who will actually be on your roof. With us, it's Bobby Button and a team of four from start to finish, and the guarantee for your job is confirmed with your quote.
What to Expect on the Day
We turn up when we say we will and talk you through the plan before work starts. The roof is kept weathertight at the end of every working day, and we clear away old materials and debris as we go. When the job is finished we check it over, show you the completed work and tidy the site properly, so the only thing you notice is a roof that works.
Your Guarantee, Explained
Guarantee length depends on the type of work. A new roof is guaranteed for 25 years as standard. Work involving breathable membrane, including many leak repairs, is usually guaranteed for 10 years and in some cases 5. Cement work such as mortar and pointing is guaranteed for 5 years. Whatever your roof & drone inspections involves, the exact guarantee is written into your quote, so you know where you stand before you say yes.

"Robert and his team done a fantastic job. I had a leak on my roof which they fixed very promptly, I also had them re-point my ridge tiles on my roof and it looks great. Very happy with the service, would definitely recommend."
