UAS roof inspections provide an effective and detailed record of the conditions of roofs and wall tops, without the costs and risks associated with scaffolding and working at height.
By producing a photographic record, UAS roof inspections can identify damage to masonry, lead work, roof tiles, chimneys, gullies and skylights, as well as areas of water retention and ingress. A follow-up report can be provided to compile the photos and discuss the general condition of the roofs.
High-resolution photographs are captured sequentially in a grid, providing detailed snapshots of the roof and its features, including gutters, skylights, and chimneys. These images can also be stitched together in photogrammetry software to produce a single high-resolution photo, called an orthophoto, if required.

Additional photos can be taken around the structure to show the facias, and the survey can be repeated with video to provide a thorough record of the roof.
