Drone Roof Surveys for Retrofit Assessment




Precision Roof Surveys For Better Retrofit Decisions.
Drone inspections provide a quick and safe way to thoroughly assess roof condition before solar panel installation.
High-resolution imagery can reveal existing damage like cracked tiles or loose flashing, which could cause problems
after panels are fitted. Identifying and fixing these issues beforehand is much easier and cheaper than dealing with
them once the solar array is in place, preventing potential leaks and structural issues.
The aerial survey gave us exactly what we needed to plan our solar install. Quick, professional, and spot on with the detail.

Furthermore, drones accurately measure roof dimensions, pitch, and identify obstructions like vents or skylights. This allows for optimal solar panel layout, avoiding shading and ensuring efficient energy generation. Pre-installation drone surveys also help plan safe access for installers and identify potential hazards, leading to a smoother, more cost-effective project and maximizing the long-term performance of the solar system.

Precision Inspections of Building Fabric.
A Closer Look Without the Risk
SkylineUAV offers high-resolution aerial inspections of hard-to-reach building elements—eliminating the need for scaffolding, ladders, or costly cherry pickers. Our drone surveys are ideal for assessing gutters, chimneys, ventilation systems, brickwork, and roof junctions for signs of damage, thermal bridging, or wear. We also provide detailed thermal inspections to identify leaks complementary to air tightness testing, or areas of thermal bridging. Whether you're retrofitting a property or diagnosing existing issues, we deliver precise data quickly and safely, even at height or across large sites.
The drone scan helped us uncover insulation issues we’d never have seen from the ground. It made the whole retrofit process smoother from the start
