About the service in Rugby
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Rugby
We regularly cover Rugby and its surrounding villages from our Northampton base. Whether you're worried about a leak, considering a purchase or need evidence for an insurance claim, an aerial inspection gives you honest, high-resolution evidence of the roof — quickly and safely.
Rugby has a broad mix of Victorian and Edwardian properties in the town centre, semi-detached homes across Hillmorton and Bilton, and newer developments around Cawston and Houlton — each with their own roof and chimney characteristics.

Everything a homeowner, landlord or buyer typically needs to know about a roof — captured from the air.

Full aerial photo record of tiles, ridge, valleys, flashings and visible defects.

Locate the likely source of water ingress from above — slipped tiles, damaged flashing, cracked mortar.

Close-up of stack, pot, flaunching and lead flashing without scaffolding.

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.

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.
