Most common local defect
Slipped slates and blocked gutters are the usual culprits after a Central Belt winter.
Roofs in Rutherglen
Rutherglen's Main Street tenements and the terraced rows off Stonelaw Road age as whole roof planes: the slates were laid at the same time and they fail at the same time. Access is the other problem — narrow closes and back courts make ladder inspection awkward, which is why aerial photography works well here.
Urban and reasonably sheltered, but nail sickness on century-old slate is widespread.

What we look for on Rutherglen roofs
Slipped slates over close entrances
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Split cast-iron gutter joints
Photographed close-up from the air, circled on the image and graded so you know whether it needs fixing now or watching.
Nail sickness across whole slate planes
When the fixings rust out, slates slip in a scatter pattern rather than one spot. Seeing the whole plane at once tells you whether it is a patch or a strip-and-recover.
Every Rutherglen 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.

Rutherglen roof survey FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Rutherglen?
A residential drone roof inspection in Rutherglen 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 G73.
Do you cover G73 postcodes?
Yes. Rutherglen sits inside our G73 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 Rutherglen?
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 Rutherglen survey without you being there and email the report when it is ready.
What roof problems do you find most often in Rutherglen?
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 Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen?
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.
