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.

Flat Roof

Good condition with no significant issues.

Structural

Condition could not be fully determined.

Gutter
Blocked
Blocked
1 of 4

Description

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.

Areas Affected

FLAT ROOFFRONT ROOFLEFT ROOFRIGHT ROOF

Urgent

Gutter Cleaning

Clear debris and organic matter from all gutter channels and downpipes. Install guards if necessary to prevent recurrence.

Flashing
Lifted
Corroded
1 of 5

Description

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.

Areas Affected

CONNECTOR RIGHTFLAT ROOFFRONT ROOFRIGHT ROOF

Urgent

Flashing Replacement

Remove corroded flashing and clean surrounding surfaces. Replace with corrosion-resistant material and reseal joints.

Chimney
Cracked
1 of 2

Description

Cracked chimney: Cracks are visible throughout the cement render of the chimney stack. These fissures allow moisture ingress and contribute to accelerated material breakdown.

Areas Affected

RIGHT ROOF

Urgent

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.

Fascia & Soffit
Rotting
1 of 2

Description

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.

Areas Affected

HIP ROOFRIGHT ROOF

Urgent

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.

Vegetation
Moss Growth
1 of 5

Description

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.

Areas Affected

EXTENSIONFRONT ROOFLEFT ROOFRIGHT ROOF

Moderate

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.

Tile
Cracked
Cracked
Loose
Cracked
1 of 2

Description

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.

Areas Affected

FRONT ROOF

Moderate

Tile Replacement

Remove all cracked tiles and replace with matching units. Check surrounding tiles for stress fractures or looseness.

Debris
General Debris

Description

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.

Moderate

Debris Removal

A specialist will safely remove all debris, check for any damage underneath, and recommend preventative measures if appropriate.

Ridge
Deteriorated

Description

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.

Areas Affected

CONNECTOR RIGHT

Low

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.
