What we look at

A closer view of the places you can't easily see.

Aerial imagery can reveal details that are difficult to inspect safely from ground level.

🧱

Roof coverings

Visible tiles, slates, ridges, hips, valleys and obvious areas of damage or deterioration.

💧

Potential water-entry points

Visible areas that may warrant repair, monitoring or further investigation.

🏚️

Chimneys & masonry

High-level visual checks for obvious cracking, deterioration, damaged pointing and other concerns.

🪟

Gutters & roofline

Visual checks of gutters, fascias, soffits and roof edges where safely visible.

🏢

Buildings & outbuildings

Useful for homes, extensions, garages and other buildings where aerial access improves visibility.

📷

Photographic evidence

Clear imagery to support the findings, so you can see the areas being discussed for yourself.

Why RoofWise?

Put the property owner first.

A roof inspection should give you information — not become a sales pitch for a replacement roof.

🔎

Independent viewpoint

The purpose is to assess visible conditions and explain them, not to create a roofing sales opportunity.

🏠

38+ years of experience

Modern drone imagery is backed by decades of practical roofing knowledge.

💷

Protect your savings

Before agreeing to expensive work, get useful evidence and a clearer understanding of what may actually be required.

The process

Simple, straightforward and transparent.

The drone gives you the view. Experience helps explain it.

Where appropriate and safe, a drone can inspect difficult-to-access roof areas without putting someone unnecessarily onto the roof.

You receive the visual evidence alongside a straightforward explanation of what can be seen.

1. Tell us about the property

Explain what you've noticed or what you've been advised.

2. Plan the inspection

We consider weather, location, airspace and safe operating conditions.

3. Inspect & review

Aerial imagery is captured and reviewed using practical roofing experience.

4. Receive your report

You'll receive a clear summary of visible findings and sensible next steps.

Your report

Evidence you can take to the next conversation.

Whether you're speaking to a roofer, insurer, surveyor or simply deciding what to do next, the aim is to give you useful information.

What can be included

  • Overall visual condition summary
  • Photographs of notable areas
  • Visible defects and areas of concern
  • Priority recommendations
  • Suggestions for repair or further investigation where appropriate
  • Inspection imagery to support the findings

What it cannot tell you

A drone inspection is visual. It cannot see through roof coverings or identify every hidden, structural or internal defect.

Important: Where a physical inspection, structural assessment or other specialist investigation is needed, the report will make that clear.
38+years of roofing experience
The reason RoofWise exists

To put years of practical knowledge to work in a new way and help property owners make better-informed decisions.

My story

I've spent more than 38 years around roofs. Now I want to help you make the right decision.

My working life was in roofing until a serious accident changed everything.

A scaffolding structure collapsed from underneath me and I fell more than 30 feet. I suffered a broken back, a badly damaged pelvis, multiple broken ribs and facial injuries. I was airlifted to hospital before the long road to recovery began.

I consider myself very lucky to have survived — and very lucky to be here to see my family. Although I was forced into early retirement, I still have something valuable to offer: more than 38 years of practical roofing experience.

RoofWise is my way of putting that experience to good use with modern drone technology. The aim is simple: give homeowners an honest, independent view of what can be seen before they commit their savings to major roofing work.

If a repair may be enough, I want you to know that. If something needs further investigation, I want you to know that too.

The RoofWise promise

“Before you spend thousands, find out what your roof actually needs.”

Independent information. Clear evidence. No pressure to buy roofing work.

Frequently asked questions

Questions homeowners often ask.

Will you tell me if I really need a new roof?

The report will describe visible conditions and areas of concern. If repair or further investigation appears more appropriate than replacement, that can be explained. The service does not guarantee that a full reroof is or is not required.

Do you carry out the roofing work?

RoofWise is designed around independent inspection and reporting. The purpose is to give you information rather than make the inspection dependent on selling you roofing work.

Can a drone find every roof problem?

No. Hidden defects, internal problems and some structural issues cannot be identified from aerial imagery alone. The report will distinguish visible findings from matters requiring further investigation.

Can I use the report when getting quotations?

Yes. The report and imagery are intended to give you useful evidence and questions to take to contractors or other professionals.

Will you climb onto the roof?

The service is designed around drone-based visual inspection. Whether any additional ground-level checks are appropriate will depend on the property and the circumstances.
