Roofs in Blantyre
Blantyre runs from the old village near the Clyde up to High Blantyre, with a heavy proportion of ex-local-authority terraces re-roofed at various points since the 1980s. Mixed repair history is the theme — you often see three different tile types on one street.
Damp valley air off the Clyde encourages moss on shaded slopes.

What we look for on Blantyre roofs
Nail fatigue and tile slip
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Poorly bedded ridge lines
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Mismatched patch repairs
Previous patch work with the wrong tile leaves gaps at the laps. From above it is obvious, and it tells you where water has been getting in.
Every Blantyre 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.

Blantyre roof survey FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Blantyre?
A residential drone roof inspection in Blantyre 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 G72.
Do you cover G72 postcodes?
Yes. Blantyre sits inside our G72 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 Blantyre?
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 Blantyre survey without you being there and email the report when it is ready.
What roof problems do you find most often in Blantyre?
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 Blantyre 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 Blantyre?
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.
