Homebuyer Drone Roof Surveys - Establish Liability

Discover Roof Issues Before You Buy Your Home

Buying a new home is one of the most significant investments you will ever make. Yet, most standard homebuyer surveys fail to provide a thorough inspection of one critical area: the roof. At Barris Roofing, we offer specialist drone roof surveys for homebuyers in London and Surrey, using advanced drone technology and our roofing expertise to uncover hidden problems and help you make informed decisions.

Benefits of a Drone Survey

The roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Issues such as missing tiles, damaged flashing, or structural weaknesses can lead to costly repairs if left undetected. A comprehensive roof survey ensures you understand the condition of your property before finalizing your purchase, protecting you from unexpected expenses and potential liability.

  1. Unparalleled Access Traditional surveys often lack the tools or expertise to thoroughly inspect a roof. Our drones can access every angle, capturing high-resolution images and videos without the need for scaffolding or ladders.

  2. 3D Roof Modeling Using DroneDeploy, we create a detailed 3D point cloud model of your roof. This provides precise measurements and identifies hidden defects that might otherwise go unnoticed.

  3. Comprehensive Reporting Our survey includes:

    • Zoomed images highlighting specific issues

    • A detailed analysis of current roof conditions

    • Remedial suggestions with estimated repair costs

    • Roof measurements and quotes for necessary scaffolding or access solutions

  4. Cost-Effective and Time-Efficient Our drone surveys are quicker and more affordable than traditional inspection methods, allowing us to deliver results within 24-48 hours.

Without a proper roof inspection, homebuyers risk inheriting:

  • Expensive Repairs: Leaks, rot, or structural damage can cost thousands to fix.

  • Health Hazards: Issues like mold or poor ventilation can harm your family’s health.

  • Reduced Property Value: Unaddressed roof problems can diminish your home’s market value.
