Drone Surveys
Drone Surveys in Manchester, London, Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff
They allow for the examination of a roof without the danger of human falls, or the need for a crane operator to scale the heights involved. If you’re nervous about heights, a drone roof survey is a surprisingly low-cost and efficient way to get an accurate picture of your roof’s condition.
What is the necessity for a drone roof survey?
Drone roof surveys can reboot the manner in which a surveyor conducts inspections of the property’s roof. The property owner is surely going to benefit when the professional surveyor utilizes the latest technology to drone survey their roof. When property owners in Manchester require a comprehensive survey of their roofs, they ordinarily turn to drone technology. This is absolutely essential for homes located in Conservation Areas, for Listed Buildings—or more generally, for anyone with a flat, pitched, or otherwise complex roof.
Approaches to Technologically
Rather than paying money to ascend to the rooftop with a conventional camera and a 28-foot carbon fiber pole, you can have a qualified and highly experienced roof surveyor use a drone to capture high-resolution imagery of your entire property. They will then download the images to a computer and zoom in to view the roof areas in a manner that affords them the same kind of detailed close-up view they would have had if they had done a visual inspection themselves.
Roof surveys are conducted effectively and safely from the ground level. They can be done using specialized equipment and the latest technology, like drones. Surveyors do roof surveys for both residential and commercial properties in Manchester and the surrounding areas.
Safety and Security Aspects
Any argument you wish to present in a claim can use a roof survey as support. While drone roof surveys are significantly superior to traditional roof inspections in Manchester, performing them in the city can be quite difficult at times. That’s because there are a number of restricted drone zones within city limits. Certain parts of Manchester are heavy on security, and residents are prohibited from flying anything over their homes, including drones. Impeding drone flights happens to be a major security measure, which is why our main areas of focus for avoiding drone use are locations near the airport, anywhere in Central Manchester, and around most government buildings. Operatives in the UK drone industry are overseen by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which helps enforce the current drone laws and ensures that all drone users fly safely, legally, and without violating the privacy of the people living in the areas where they operate.
Do you need a Manchester Drone Survey?
It is essential to have a roof survey undertaken on residential or commercial properties located in Manchester, especially given the city’s remarkable variety of roofing types, including both flat and pitched roofs. While most people think of a physical visual inspection as the only way to assess the condition of a roof, there are now far more advanced methods of both inspecting and documenting a roof’s condition. These new methods are akin to the advancements seen in recent years in the area of roof optics, where tools like drones and pole cameras have allowed for much more clear, concise, and complete inspections.
Advantages of the Drone Survey Report
No false claims: the roof survey report provides evidence to back your damages claim. When the report forecasts the cost of repair or replacement, it does so with a high level of confidence. This is a good thing for your claim, as no one will be able to legitimately argue that you are trying to scam the insurance company.
Planning your project: do you plan on making alterations to your property? The drone survey report lets you know the condition of your roof and gives you a sense of how long the work will take and how much it will cost. You can also use this information to help secure funding for that project.
Freeholder responsibility: once the freeholder sees that the roof is in bad shape, the report helps provide motivation for them to take action.
