Roofs in Bothwell
Bothwell is period villa territory along Main Street and Uddingston Road — big roof areas, natural slate, multiple chimney stacks, lead valleys and often a conservatory or garden room tacked on later. These are the roofs where a single visit saves an expensive scaffold inspection.
Sheltered but heavily treed — valleys and hoppers block every autumn.

Lead valley splits
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.

Lead valley and hidden gutter failure
Large villas often have concealed gutters between roof planes. Aerial photography is the only practical way to inspect them without scaffold.
Every Bothwell 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.

Bothwell roof survey FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Bothwell?
A residential drone roof inspection in Bothwell 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 G71.
Do you cover G71 postcodes?
Yes. Bothwell sits inside our G71 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 Bothwell?
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 Bothwell survey without you being there and email the report when it is ready.
What roof problems do you find most often in Bothwell?
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 Bothwell 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 Bothwell?
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.
