Traditional roof inspections are costly, slow, and dangerous. We remove the risk by deploying advanced UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology to inspect your property from the safety of the ground, removing the need for scaffold access for inspection.
The Veteran Survey Company provides high-resolution aerial imagery for residential and commercial properties across Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Bridgend (and valleys).
We use military-grade discipline to capture every angle of your roof, chimney, and guttering without a single foot leaving the ground.
Zero Risk: No ladders, no scaffolding, and zero risk of damage to your roof tiles from foot traffic.
Rapid Deployment: We can assess a roof in minutes, not days. No waiting for scaffolders.
4K Evidence: We provide high-resolution images and video. You get irrefutable evidence of defects (or a clean bill of health) for insurance claims or property purchases.
Hard-to-Reach Access: Our drones can view hidden valleys, high-level chimneys, and parapet walls that are dangerous for human inspection.
What We Look For We don’t just “fly over.” We conduct a systematic grid search of your roof structure to identify:
Roof Coverings: Slipped slates, cracked tiles, and failing ridge mortar.
Chimney Stacks: Crumbled flaunching, dangerous pots, and lead flashing failure.
Rainwater Systems: Blocked gutters, disconnected downpipes, and vegetation growth.
Storm Damage: Rapid assessment of impact damage for insurance reporting.
All our pilots are fully insured and operate strictly within Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Open Category regulations. We fly safe, or we don’t fly at all.
Capture high-resolution images and data for precise analysis.
Reduce the need for scaffolding and other expensive equipment.
Complete surveys quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruption.
Access hard-to-reach areas without putting personnel at risk.
Our roof inspections are able to assess faults with the below as well as any items at height – but for example:
Faulty and cracked tiles lead to leaks – identifying the location and number of these allows for easy planning of repair
Faults with the ridge of a roof, whether a dry or wet verge are not easily seen from the ground. Failed ridge tiles often fall and cause large amounts of damage. Spotting worn mortar or incorrect placement helps with diagnosis and repairs.
Gutters, woodwork and associated water goods such as hoppers, valleys and leadwork can often be a hidden problem.
Roofs of all variants need ventilation, often this can be spotted or problems with – by an aerial inspection.
Detect heat loss, insulation issues, and moisture related problems. Helps in tracking leaks etc but limited to colder weather due to needing a good thermal return.
Track the progress of construction projects with regular aerial updates and progress shots.
