Our photographic roof and chimney survey services are now the preferred method for many property management companies to keep on-going records of their property portfolios.


By using our drones, our operators work safely from ground level thus minimising health and safety issues as well as added costs from things like scaffolding or cherry pickers.


Client Benefits & Cost Savings:



  • Our certified operators work safely from ground level, eliminating the high safety risks and liability of scaffolding or cherry pickers.
  • Minimizes additional costs associated with hiring access equipment.
  • Surveys efficiently identify specific repair requirements (roofs, windows, gutters, etc.).
  • Provides high-quality imagery to document and update the stock condition for external building items.
