# Drone Roof Survey > A drone roof survey across Devon and the South West. Every slate, valley and flashing photographed at 100 megapixels, written up and with you inside 48 hours. Homeowners, landlords, letting agents and managing agents who need a roof looked at properly and want photographs they can act on. A flown survey of the whole roof at 100 megapixels, then a written report in your inbox within 48 hours showing what is wrong, where it is and how urgent it looks. ## Services - [Drone Roof Survey](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/services/drone-roof-survey): The whole roof photographed at 100 megapixels, elevation by elevation, written up and with you inside 48 hours, no scaffold required. - [Roof Survey Before You Buy](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/services/pre-purchase-roof-survey): A flown survey between offer and exchange, so a roof you have only seen from the pavement stops being an unknown before you commit to buying it. -

[Axminster, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/axminster): Roof surveys in Axminster, a hilltop town where wind arrives from every quarter and the industrial legacy leaves large span roofs nobody can inspect. - [Honiton, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/honiton): Roof surveys in Honiton, where a uniform Georgian high street conceals a long run of shared roofs, and the valley sits under fog that keeps things damp. -

[Plymouth, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/plymouth): Roof surveys across Plymouth, from post-war flat roofed city centre blocks to Victorian terraces on the hills, with the Sound sending salt inland. - [Saltash, Cornwall](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/saltash): Roof surveys in Saltash, on ground so steep above the Tamar that the older streets are effectively unreachable by any scaffold lorry. - [Totnes, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/totnes): Roof surveys in Totnes, where a steep medieval street of slate hung and jettied frontages produces roofs that discharge onto each other. - [Newton Abbot, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/newton-abbot): Roof surveys in Newton Abbot, a low-lying railway town of Victorian terraces where mist off the Teign keeps shaded slopes damp all winter. -

[Dawlish, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/dawlish): Roof surveys in Dawlish, where cliff top bungalow estates take unbroken wind and the town below sits behind a sea wall that regularly gets overtopped. - [Torquay, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/torquay): Roof surveys in Torquay, where grand Victorian villas and hotels carry elaborate roofscapes nobody has been able to see properly since they were built. - [Paignton, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/paignton): Roof surveys in Paignton, where flat ground gives no shelter from easterly weather and a large guest house stock has decades of added extensions. - [Barnstaple, Devon](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/barnstaple): Roof surveys in Barnstaple and across North Devon, where Atlantic weather comes up the Taw estuary from the west with almost nothing to slow it down. - [Taunton, Somerset](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/taunton): Roof surveys in Taunton, a drier and more sheltered town than the Devon coast, where the problems are frost, fog and the volume of new estate roofing. - [Wellington, Somerset](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/wellington): Roof surveys in Wellington, where the Blackdown escarpment immediately south accelerates wind over the town and the mill legacy leaves large span roofs. - [Lyme Regis, Dorset](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/areas/lyme-regis): Roof surveys in Lyme Regis, where an unstable landslip coast puts structural movement into roofs on top of the usual salt and wind. ## What is on the record - CAA registered: Operator ID and Flyer ID held, plus the A2 Certificate of Competency. Every flight is planned to the rules that apply to the site, and the paperwork is available before the visit if your agent or insurer wants it. - 100 megapixel camera: A DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a Hasselblad camera and 6K video. The resolution is what lets a survey stand off the building at a safe distance and still show a hairline crack in a single slate. - Radiometric thermal: A DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced carrying a 640 by 512 thermal camera. Used where a leak needs tracing rather than just photographing, because water shows as temperature long before it shows as a stain. - Insured with Coverdrone: Full commercial cover for the operation. Certificates go to managing agents, block committees and insurers as a matter of course, without anyone having to chase for them. ## Contact - Phone: 07700 162546 - Email: info@exeterdronesurveys.co.uk - Enquiry form: https://drone-roof-survey.uk/contact - Based in Exeter, covering Devon and the South West ## Optional - [Full text version](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/llms-full.txt): every service, town and question on this site as markdown. - [Sitemap](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/sitemap.xml) - [Privacy](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/privacy) - [Terms](https://drone-roof-survey.uk/terms)
