Slipped slates and blocked gutters are the usual culprits after a Central Belt winter.
Roofs in Bearsden
Bearsden roofs are mostly steep-pitched natural slate on interwar villas, with a band of 1960s–80s detached housing towards Westerton and Kessington using concrete interlocking tiles. The tree cover along Roman Road and Drymen Road means valleys and gutters silt up faster than the Glasgow average, and many of the larger villas have two or three chimney stacks still in use.
Sheltered from the west but sitting under mature beech and lime, so debris rather than wind is the usual culprit here.

What we look for on Bearsden roofs
Slipped slates around dormer cheeks
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Cracked haunching on old chimney stacks
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Moss build-up on north-facing slate
Shaded north slopes hold moisture, and thick moss lifts slate tails and blocks the gutter line. We photograph coverage across the whole slope so you can see whether it needs clearing or is only cosmetic.
Every Bearsden survey covers the full roof: tiles and slates, ridges, hips and verges, valleys, flashings, chimney stacks, guttering and any flat sections. You get an online report with each defect circled on the photograph, a plain-English description and a severity grade, plus a printable PDF version.

Bearsden roof survey FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Bearsden?
A residential drone roof inspection in Bearsden is a fixed £99, and a commercial survey is £149. That covers the visit, high-resolution aerial photographs of every elevation and an annotated, severity-graded report. There is no call-out or travel charge inside G61.
Do you cover G61 postcodes?
Yes. Bearsden sits inside our G61 coverage and we survey there regularly. Enter your full postcode on the booking form and we will confirm availability before you pay anything.
How quickly can you survey a roof in Bearsden?
We usually fly within a few working days, weather permitting, and your report is normally with you within 24 hours of the visit. Storm damage and insurance jobs are prioritised.
Do I need to be at home for the survey?
No. As long as our pilot can reach a safe take-off point and access is clear, we can complete the Bearsden survey without you being there and email the report when it is ready.
What roof problems do you find most often in Bearsden?
Slipped and missing slates, cracked ridge mortar, failed lead flashing around chimneys and blocked or sagging gutters are the usual findings after a Central Belt winter. Each one is circled on the aerial photograph, graded for severity and explained in the report so a roofer can quote from it.
Can I use the report for an insurance or storm damage claim?
Yes. The report includes dated, high-resolution aerial photographs of every elevation with each defect circled, described and severity-graded, which is exactly the evidence insurers and loss adjusters ask for. You own the report and can forward it to anyone.
Is it safe and legal to fly a drone over my Bearsden property?
Yes. We fly under UK CAA rules with the required operator registration and public liability insurance, and we plan every flight around airspace restrictions, neighbouring properties and wind conditions before we lift off.
What happens if the survey finds damage?
You get a plain-English report with each defect graded from monitor through to urgent, plus a recommended action for every finding. We do not carry out repairs, so there is nothing to upsell — the report is simply the evidence you hand to whichever roofer you choose.
Does the weather stop a drone roof survey in Bearsden?
Heavy rain or high winds will move a flight, and we will tell you the day before if that is likely. Scottish weather is factored into our scheduling, so most surveys still go ahead within a few working days of booking.
