Commercial roof & building inspections

Clear answers.
Without unnecessary access.

Professional drone inspections for commercial roofs, façades and difficult-to-access building areas across Staffordshire, Birmingham, the Midlands and throughout the UK.

What we inspect

Detailed visual evidence from areas that are difficult to reach.

RIS captures systematic overview and close-detail imagery to help property and facilities teams understand visible condition without making access equipment the first step.

  • Flat and pitched roof coverings
  • Gutters, downpipes and drainage routes
  • Flashings, parapets, penetrations and roof edges
  • Roof plant, HVAC equipment and solar installations
  • Cladding, façades and elevated building elements
  • Visible damage, deterioration and weathering
  • Thermal anomalies where the inspection brief requires them

Inspection focus

Close visual inspection

High-resolution imagery can reveal damaged coverings, failed details, ponding and visible deterioration, giving you clear evidence from areas that are otherwise awkward to access.

  • High-resolution overview and detail photographs
  • 4K video where useful
  • Thermal imagery where appropriate
  • Annotated images highlighting areas of interest
  • Structured visual inspection report
  • Secure digital transfer of project data
