About the service in Kettering
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Kettering
We work regularly across Kettering and its surrounding villages, inspecting roofs before repairs, before purchase, after storms and as part of routine landlord maintenance. Everything is captured with high-resolution drones — you get real evidence of the roof, not guesswork from the ground.
The Kettering housing mix ranges from terraced streets in the town centre to newer semis and detached homes around Barton Seagrave and Ise Lodge, plus older village properties in Rothwell and Desborough — most with pitched tiled roofs, chimneys and traditional gutters.

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.
