Using Drone Technology to Carry out Roof Inspection

Yes, this is real. And yes, it makes a lot of sense. There are a number of circumstances in which using drones, or rather UAV’s (unmanned-aerial-vehicle) is an ideal solution to tricky roof inspections. It could be that the roof is known to be unstable, or is of a particularly fragile design, in which case being able to get a view of its condition without actually needing to get somebody up there to have a first-hand look, can be an incredible asset.

Using drones to carry out an inspection means that you can circumvent most of the safety procedures necessary for a standard roof survey, which saves time and money. Even with all of those safety measures, inspections can still be a dangerous process, and one wrong step can result in a serious injury; using drones also prevents this. There could also be an issue with accessibility, which is also resolved through the use of a UAV.

This is all possible thanks to the increased availability of drone technology, and in particular drone technology that is coupled with advanced imaging technology that is able to provide experts with a detailed image of the appearance of a roof.
