About the service in Wellingborough
Fast, no-scaffolding roof inspections across Wellingborough
We inspect roofs across Wellingborough and neighbouring towns from our Northampton base — usually within a working week. Our drones capture high-resolution photos and video of the roof, gutters and chimney so you have real evidence of the condition of the property before spending on repairs.
Wellingborough has a lot of older pitched roofs and traditional chimney stacks, plus newer estates at Stanton Cross. That mix throws up regular issues around slipped tiles, aged flashing and blocked gutters, all of which show up clearly from the air.

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.
