Roof Inspection & Surveys

Our drones can reach difficult areas with ease, and our solution is quick, safe and very cost effective.What was one a difficult and expensive task to accomplish can now be achieved much more cost-effectively using our remotely piloted aerial drone systems. Building inspections of roofs, chimneys, towers, stadiums, wind turbines, church spires, etc., no longer need expensive cherry-pickers, scaffolding.

We can give you a series of high-resolution images and high definition 4K video of most hard to reach structures. You can even monitor the footage being gathered on our remote ground station screens in real-time to make sure you’re getting exactly the images you need. And there’s no longer the need for anyone to leave the ground so the project is obviously much safer.

You can trust us to provide a high level of service.  Rising View won Dundees Scottish Business Awards BEST PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDER and are also finalists in the Grand Final of Scotlands Business Awards.

Imagine the scene. There’s been a big storm and your property has extensive damage to the roof. It’s now your job to get the matter dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible. In doing this you will ensure you’ll minimise the costs that can arise with this sort of claim.

When you have a damaged roof you need emergency drone inspection photography with a fast turnaround and a reliable service. Here at Rising View we have extensive experience in all types of aerial photography. We deal with roof surveys, drains, gutters and solar panels and much more.

Please read our BLOG about “Inspecting Storm Damage with Drone Photography” for more information.

We inspect residential homes, commercial premises and churches. In fact, all buildings at height that are vulnerable to damage during bad weather. We provide an emergency response survey which covers the whole of Scotland including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee where we have offices but we can also travel anywhere in the UK.

One of the most important reasons for using drone photography at height is safety. Traditionally an individual or team would have to climb up to a damaged roof and take photographs or videos manually. This meant delays if it was too windy to make the climb or the risk of an individual falling.

Drone photography eliminates this risk. It is a safe method of inspection at height which can be carried out fast and without too much delay. We are licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority and we are covered by Public Liability Insurance.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the national independent watchdog for work-related health, safety and illness which acts in the public interest to reduce work-related death and serious injury across Great Britain’s workplaces.

According to them, (in their guide of Working at Height) roof work is high in risk and states one of the most common causes of serious workplace injury to be falling through roofs. This can occur on roofs of factories, warehouses, farm buildings and such when repair work of the roof is being carried out.

Please read our BLOG about “Overcoming Dangers of Working at a Height” for more information.

Drone aerial surveys are ideal for inspection of roofs or chimneys. We use UAV mounted cameras which will give you a high-resolution video or photographs. The data and imagery are captured with a range of high quality sensors and this gives accurate detail that is hard to match using traditional photography or video.  We can also get to hard to reach areas and very difficult angles that would not be possible by using cherry pickers or scaffolding.

Please read our BLOG about “Inspecting Your Chimney Stacks” for more information.

We carry out an inspection using 4k high resolution video and still photography. Firstly, images are captured of the whole roof. Next, we zoom in to take close-ups top down in a grid. After that, each side of the roof is photographed or videoed at a 45-degree angle. Finally, we take photographs or videos of any other points of interest, such as windows, chimneys or guttering.

Our drone pilots are all licenced and insured plus have (PFCO) Permission for Commercial Operation from the (CAA) Civil Aviation Authority.  They will always be dressed in uniform and have identification available and all their paperwork to view at your request.  Additionally we also carry a full kit of PPE equipment if your site has this requirement.

An aerial drone inspection can also be provided for other means. For example, using drone photography for things which can’t easily be seen with the naked eye. Thermal imaging allows you to see areas of excessive heat loss and also allows surveys of solar panels. Detecting vegetation growth is another area. 3D modelling of commercial buildings will provide health and safety guidance, works scheduling and planned maintenance.

Roof inspections using drone photography can be carried out by appointment or as an emergency drone service. Our emergency service means we can get to your location quickly and we can edit and deliver the photographs and/or videos to you on location. You can even watch the inspection from our van in real-time.

Not only are the inspections faster, safer and can provide photographs of hard to reach locations they are also far cheaper than traditional methods such as cherry pickers and scaffolding.
