Residential Drone (UAV) Roof Surveys & Roof Inspections

Independent, image-led roof surveys for homeowners in Wokingham, Berkshire and surrounding areas.

Professional drone-based roof condition reviews for homeowners, buyers, landlords and property managers.

A residential drone (UAV) roof review provides a clear, non-invasive way to understand the visible condition of your roof and high-level external building areas. For homeowners in Wokingham and across Berkshire, Altivis captures high-resolution aerial evidence without immediately requiring ladders, scaffolding or intrusive access, helping support informed maintenance, repair and further-investigation decisions.

Altivis captures high-resolution aerial imagery of visible roof areas including roof coverings, ridges, valleys, gutters, flashings, chimneys, roof edges, dormers and hard-to-view elevations.

The output is a structured, image-led report designed to help you understand visible concerns, likely priorities and practical next steps before speaking with contractors, insurers or specialist advisors.

If you are unsure which level of review is right for your property, see our Common Questions or Book a Survey to discuss your requirements.
