Inspection date: 7 Apr 2025
This report uses high-resolution drone imagery and AI-driven analysis to detect roofing defects. It highlights areas requiring attention, supports preventative maintenance, and offers peace of mind when buying, selling, or maintaining a property. Combining drone and AI technology, it delivers fast, safe, and scalable insight — without the need for scaffolding or physical surveys.

This roof does not have roof penetrations or it was not applicable to assess.
This roof does not have obstructions or it was not applicable to assess.
Good condition with no significant issues.
Condition could not be fully determined.
Blocked gutter: Debris, sediment, or vegetation is visibly clogging the gutter channel, preventing proper water flow. Blocked gutters can cause water to back up under the eaves, leading to dampness and damage to exterior walls.
Gutter Cleaning
Clear debris and organic matter from all gutter channels and downpipes. Install guards if necessary to prevent recurrence.
Lifted flashing: Flashing has lifted from its seated position along various seams. The resulting openings diminish waterproofing performance and increase the chance of water penetration. Corroded flashing: Flashing shows visible corrosion, with pitting and rust streaks affecting key sections. This weakens waterproofing and increases the risk of moisture ingress.
Flashing Replacement
Remove corroded flashing and clean surrounding surfaces. Replace with corrosion-resistant material and reseal joints.
Cracked chimney: Cracks are visible throughout the cement render of the chimney stack. These fissures allow moisture ingress and contribute to accelerated material breakdown.
Chimney Repair
A specialist will assess crack depth and cause, repair using appropriate materials, and may recommend a new chimney liner or cap to prevent water ingress.
Rotting fascia & soffit: Wooden boards along the roof edge show signs of decay, including soft spots and dark staining. Rotting weakens structural support and encourages pest activity.
Fascia Replacement
A specialist will remove rotted sections, treat any remaining wood to prevent further decay, and install new properly-sealed fascia or soffit components.
Moss Growth vegetation: Dense moss is growing on roof tiles and inside gutters. This organic matter retains moisture, disrupts drainage, and can force tiles apart over time.
Moss Removal
A roof cleaning specialist will safely remove moss using appropriate cleaning solutions and soft washing techniques that won't damage roofing materials. They may apply preventative treatments to discourage regrowth.
Cracked tile: Tiles exhibit visible cracking along their surfaces. These fractures compromise the roof's water resistance and can allow moisture to penetrate into the roof structure. Loose tile: Several tiles appear loose and out of alignment, with gaps forming between adjacent units. Loose tiles are more susceptible to displacement and allow rainwater to bypass the intended drainage path.
Tile Replacement
Remove all cracked tiles and replace with matching units. Check surrounding tiles for stress fractures or looseness.
General Debris debris: Litter, organic material, broken tiles or airborne debris are scattered across the roof. Accumulated debris restricts water flow and contributes to premature wear of roof coverings.
Debris Removal
A specialist will safely remove all debris, check for any damage underneath, and recommend preventative measures if appropriate.
Deteriorated ridge: Mortar securing the ridge tiles is deteriorating, with visible voids and crumbling joints. This weakens the ridge structure and may allow tile movement.
Ridge Tile Restoration
A roofer will remove deteriorated ridge tiles and mortar, clean the ridge line, and install new or refurbished tiles with fresh bedding and pointing.
