About the service in Leicester
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Leicester
Leicester has a rich mix of Victorian terraces, interwar semis and modern estates. Chimney stacks, older lead flashings and blocked valleys are all common issues — and all show up clearly from the air. We travel across from our Northampton base and can typically be on-site within a working week.
From bay-fronted terraces in Clarendon Park and Stoneygate through to newer builds on the outskirts, the Leicester housing stock includes almost every kind of pitched roof, chimney and gutter arrangement we typically inspect.

Roof inspection services in Leicester
Everything a homeowner, landlord or buyer typically needs to know about a roof — captured from the air.
Roof condition report
Full aerial photo record of tiles, ridge, valleys, flashings and visible defects.
Roof leak inspection
Locate the likely source of water ingress from above — slipped tiles, damaged flashing, cracked mortar.
Chimney inspection
Close-up of stack, pot, flaunching and lead flashing without scaffolding.
Gutter inspection
Blockages, moss build-up, sagging brackets, downpipe joins and overflow evidence.
Storm & wind damage

Independent visual check before you exchange contracts on a new home.
Solar panel check
Panel condition, soiling, bird debris, cable and mounting checks from above.
Insurance roof inspection

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.
