Drone roof inspection in Porto
The roof is one of the most expensive parts of a property to repair and one of the hardest to assess at a viewing. A drone sees the whole roof, safely, and every defect ends up in a photographed report.
What we check
- Tiles: cracked, displaced or missing tiles across the whole roof
- Chimneys: condition of stacks, pots and flashings
- Gutters and valleys: blockages, falls and joints
- Flashing and abutments where roofs meet walls
- Skylights, antennas and solar panels: fixings and surrounding seals
- Facades and hard-to-reach areas that are unsafe to check on foot
Why it matters
A professional drone inspection captures high-resolution imagery of every tile, chimney, gutter and flashing, revealing defects that are impossible to see from the ground and unsafe to check on foot.
Many roof problems start small: a cracked tile, failed flashing, a blocked valley. Left unnoticed, they lead to water infiltration and expensive repairs.
Finding them before you sign the CPCV gives you real negotiating power: renegotiate the price, request repairs before the sale or include protective clauses in the agreement.

Questions about this service
How much does a drone roof inspection cost?
It depends on the property and the access. Send us the address and you get a quote within one business day.
Can you fly anywhere?
Not always. Dense urban areas and airport zones have restrictions. We check feasibility when you book and tell you if a flight is not possible.
What if the weather is bad?
We reschedule the flight. Wind and rain stop a safe, useful survey.
Why not just walk on the roof?
Old tiles and timbers can be fragile and unsafe. The drone sees more of the roof than a person can reach.
