Broxburn roof survey FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Broxburn?
A residential drone roof inspection in Broxburn 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 EH52.
Do you cover EH52 postcodes?
Yes. Broxburn sits inside our EH52 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 Broxburn?
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 Broxburn survey without you being there and email the report when it is ready.
What roof problems do you find most often in Broxburn?
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 Broxburn 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 Broxburn?
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.
