About the service in Bedford
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Bedford
We regularly travel across the county line into Bedford to inspect residential roofs, chimneys and gutters. Older properties in central Bedford, Queen's Park and Goldington often have complex chimney stacks and traditional flashing, while newer estates around Wixams and Great Denham benefit from a first-hand look at ridge tiles, flashings and roof coverings.
Bedford housing ranges from Victorian terraces to modern detached homes. Tiled and slate roofs, dormers, extensions and increasing numbers of domestic solar arrays are all in our regular flight plan.

Why a drone inspection
Faster, safer and more detailed than climbing the roof
Fast
Most inspections are booked within a few days, flown in 20–40 minutes and reported within 24–48 hours.
No scaffolding
No £400–£800+ scaffolding hire and no need to disturb the property to check the roof.
High-detail evidence
100 MP imagery and close-ups (where safe/legal) that a ground-level survey simply can't produce.
