# Roof Inspection Exeter

> A methodical roof inspection for Exeter homes: what actually gets checked on the roof, then a written report. Fixed price, no scaffolding, no ladders.

An Exeter homeowner, or a buyer or seller partway through a property transaction, who wants a roof inspection and has not decided how it should actually be carried out.

An Exeter based roof inspection that works through tiles and slates, ridges and hips, flashings, valleys, chimney stacks, gutters and flat roofs, before it gets anywhere near which piece of kit does the looking. The drone is how the ground gets covered. The written report is what you are actually paying for.

## Services

- [The Inspection](https://roof-inspection-exeter.co.uk/services/the-inspection): Seven areas of a roof, checked in the same order on every visit, then written up in plain language within 48 hours. The drone is how the ground gets covered.
- [For Buyers and Sellers](https://roof-inspection-exeter.co.uk/services/for-buyers-and-sellers): Inspection work timed around a transaction: before you offer, before you list, or when a survey has already flagged something that needs a closer look.

## What is on the record

- Seven areas, checked in order: Tiles and slates, ridges and hips, valleys, flashings, chimney stacks, gutters and outlets, and any flat section, checked in the same order on every property where they apply.
- 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 a solicitor, agent or insurer needs it.
- 100 megapixel camera: A DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a Hasselblad camera and 6K video. The resolution is what lets the inspection stand off the building at a safe distance and still show a hairline crack in a single tile.
- Insured with Coverdrone: Full commercial cover for the operation. Certificates go to solicitors, agents and insurers as a matter of course, without anyone having to chase for them.
