Drone survey & thing on roof?

user1977

I would say it's more useful for roofs which aren't otherwise readily visible (e.g. any bits of flat roof) - saves you getting the big ladder out, and/or arranging access to get up there through hatches etc.

thank you for weighing in everyone. I'm not getting an overwhelming impression that doing a drone survey at this stage is essential, or going to yield significant results, to justify the cost,  unless there's a 'reason' to do it.   
 

Maybe its best to get it done later, if there are issues flagged by the survey from binoculars assessment and looking inside  the loft space.  Apparently insulation  was laid down a 2-3 years ago, so hopefully this wont impede the surveyors internal assessment.   Food for thought!

Hopefully it is not spray foam insulation !

I would say that flying a drone over can provide useful information - we found the source of a leak that wasn't visible from the street by doing so - but it was our drone after purchasing the house and the reason we sent it up was that the leak was also visible on the inside of the loft space.

I'm not sure we'd have bothered if it was going to cost us £200.

Or if there was no evidence of any leak.

Yes, that too.
