Why Edinburgh roofs need a closer look
Slate, lead and stone
Older Edinburgh roofs fail at the details — slipped slates, split lead, cracked cope stones. Close-up aerial shots catch them early.
Listed and tenement buildings
No scaffolding needed, so there's nothing to agree with a conservation officer or a stair full of owners.
Box gutters and hidden valleys
The parts of the roof you can never see from the street are the parts that cause the damage. We photograph them all.

Edinburgh roof inspection questions
How much does a roof inspection cost in Edinburgh?
A full drone roof inspection in Edinburgh is £99 for a residential property and £149 for a commercial property. That is a fixed price covering the flight, every elevation photographed and a graded damage report — no call-out fee and no scaffolding costs.
Which Edinburgh postcodes do you cover?
We cover EH postcodes (EH), including New Town, Leith, Morningside and the surrounding villages. If your postcode starts with EH, enter it on the booking form and we'll confirm before you pay.
How soon can you inspect my roof in Edinburgh?
We usually attend within a few days of booking and often sooner after a storm. You choose a preferred date and an AM or PM slot, and we call to confirm a mutually suitable time.
Do I need to be home for the Edinburgh survey?
Not usually. As long as we can reach a safe launch point such as a garden, driveway or shared green, the flight takes 20 to 30 minutes and you don't need to be there.
Can I use the report for an insurance claim or a roofer's quote?
Yes. Every Edinburgh report contains date-stamped, high-resolution photographs with each defect circled, described and graded by severity — exactly what an insurer, factor or roofer needs to see.
