At Build Estimate Limited, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of inspection for your new home. Using cutting-edge drone technology, we thoroughly assess those hard-to-reach and often overlooked areas—especially the roof and upper external structure. Our drone surveys provide a detailed aerial view and meticulous inspection of key components, including:

• All Flashings – Checked for watertight seals and correct installation to prevent future leaks.
   
• Guttering Systems – Inspected for secure fitting, proper gradient, and effective drainage.
   
• Soffit & Fascia Boards – Assessed for structural integrity, weather damage, and cosmetic finish.
   
• Hipped Edges & Drip Edges – Verified for proper alignment, installation, and rainwater management.
   
• Ridges & Valleys – Evaluated for tile placement, integrity, and water runoff efficiency.
   
• Chimneys & Dormers – Inspected for visible signs of wear, movement, or structural concern.
   

By using drones, we eliminate the risks and limitations of manual roof inspections, offering a safe, efficient, and comprehensive visual record of your home's most elevated features.
