Roof Inspection

For surface condition, it's usually better. The drone captures the entire roof at high resolution from multiple angles — including areas a person on a ladder can't reach. You get complete coverage, consistent quality and a permanent visual record. The limitation is that a drone can't lift tiles or test fixings — if that's needed, the drone survey tells you exactly where to send the roofer.

The flight itself is typically 15–30 minutes for a standard residential or commercial roof. Larger industrial roofs may take an hour. Report turnaround is 2–3 working days as standard; same-day is available for urgent insurance claims.

Yes — pitched tile, metal sheet, flat membrane, concrete slab, thatch, composite panels. The capture pattern and flight height are adjusted for the roof geometry and material. Multi-level and complex roof forms are covered with oblique passes that pick up vertical faces, valleys and intersections.

Yes. The imagery and report are designed to meet the evidence standards insurers and loss adjusters expect — date-stamped, geotagged, high-resolution photographs with defects identified, classified and mapped. We've delivered inspection reports that have supported successful storm, hail and water damage claims.

Yes. We fly a radiometric thermal camera alongside the visual camera to detect moisture trapped beneath the roof membrane, insulation gaps and heat-loss zones. This is especially useful for flat commercial roofs where leaks are hard to trace visually.

We operate under a KCAA-approved Remote Operator Certificate (ROC) and hold all necessary approvals for commercial drone flights in Kenya. For most properties, the landowner's consent and our standard risk assessment are sufficient. If the building is near an airport or in controlled airspace, we handle the additional coordination.
