About the service in Peterborough
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Peterborough
Peterborough sits at the far end of our regular service area — but well within reach for homeowners, landlords and buyers who want a fast, no-scaffolding roof inspection. We capture the whole roof from the air, including chimneys, gutters and flashings, and deliver a clear PDF report you can act on.
Housing in Peterborough ranges from older properties in the city centre and Millfield through to large modern estates in Hampton, Orton and Werrington — 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.
