GET THE FULL PICTURE, EVEN WHEN IT’S OUT OF REACH

A DRONE ROOF SURVEY REVEALS WHAT LADDERS CAN’T

Roofs that are more than one level high often can’t be safely accessed using standard inspection methods, but that doesn’t mean they should go unchecked.

A Red LBP drone roof survey adds high-resolution aerial imagery to your pre-purchase or condition report, helping identify potential issues that would otherwise be missed.

Our qualified inspectors use professional drone technology to capture detailed images of the roof, flashings, skylights, chimneys, and other critical areas. It’s a smart, non-invasive way to assess the true condition of a roof, especially when access is limited.

You’ll receive clear photos and practical commentary on any visible concerns, giving you greater confidence in your property assessment, and peace of mind about what’s overhead.

HERE’S WHY A DRONE ROOF SURVEY ADD-ON IS A SMART MOVE

6 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GET A DRONE ROOF SURVEY

Description

SEE WHAT LADDERS
CAN’T REACH

For homes with roofs higher than one level, a standard ladder inspection just isn’t possible. A drone survey gives you high-quality images of those hard-to-access areas, without the safety risks or guesswork.

Description

SPOT ISSUES BEFORE
THEY ESCALATE

Missing flashings, cracked tiles, or poorly sealed penetrations can lead to leaks and expensive damage if left unnoticed. A drone roof survey helps detect these issues early, before they become bigger problems.

Description

CONFIDENCE FOR BUYERS
AND OWNERS

Whether you’re buying a home or checking the one you own, seeing the full condition of the roof offers peace of mind. It’s an easy way to ensure the top of your property is in good shape, or to know what needs fixing.

Description

DETAIL YOU CAN SEE FOR
YOURSELF

Drone imagery gives you a clear visual record of your roof’s condition. You’ll see exactly what the inspector sees, no vague descriptions, just real photos with straightforward insights.

Description

IDEAL FOR COMPLEX OR
STEEP ROOFS

Some roofs are simply too steep, fragile, or complex for safe physical access. A drone survey eliminates those barriers, providing safe, effective coverage from above, without needing scaffolding or lift equipment.

ADD VALUE TO YOUR
REPORT

A drone survey is a smart add-on to your Red LBP prepurchase or condition report. It gives you a more complete picture of the property and helps ensure there are no surprises hiding just out of sight.
