At Gold Crest Surveyors, we’re proud to be at the forefront of property inspection services in Manchester, constantly innovating to offer the most efficient, safe, and detailed assessments available. One of the most exciting advancements in our toolkit is drone roof inspections—a revolutionary method that’s transforming the way roofs are inspected across the city.
As the architectural landscape of Manchester continues to evolve, with a mix of heritage buildings and modern developments, maintaining and inspecting rooftops has become more challenging. Weather conditions, access difficulties, and traditional inspection limitations mean that property owners are often faced with slow, expensive, and risky inspections. At Goldcrest Surveyors, we’ve embraced drone technology to solve these problems, providing a superior service that saves time, money, and ensures safety.
Why Choose Drone Roof Inspections from Goldcrest Surveyors?
Manchester is known for its diverse architecture, from historic mills and Victorian homes to contemporary skyscrapers and commercial properties. Each building comes with its own set of challenges when it comes to roof inspections. At Gold Crest Surveyors, our drone inspections are specifically designed to address these challenges, offering significant benefits to property owners and managers:
1. Expert Knowledge Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
At Goldcrest Surveyors, we combine decades of expertise in property surveying with the latest advancements in drone technology. Our qualified drone operators are fully certified by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and adhere to strict safety guidelines. Paired with our in-depth knowledge of roofing and building structures, this ensures that every inspection is accurate, comprehensive, and reliable.
2. Unparalleled Safety
Traditional roof inspections often involve the use of ladders, scaffolding, or even cherry pickers, all of which come with safety risks for inspectors. This is particularly concerning in Manchester, where unpredictable weather—such as rain and high winds—can make rooftops treacherous. Drone inspections eliminate these risks by allowing us to carry out comprehensive inspections from the ground. Drones can access any area of your roof, even the hardest-to-reach spots, without putting anyone in harm’s way.
3. Cost-Effective and Efficient
Traditional inspections can be costly, especially when scaffolding and labour are required. Drone roof inspections, on the other hand, reduce costs significantly. With no need for physical access to the roof, the time and resources required for inspections are minimized. Our team at Goldcrest Surveyors can conduct a thorough roof inspection in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional methods, providing detailed reports within a day—perfect for both residential and commercial property owners who need quick and accurate information.
4. High-Resolution Imagery and Detailed Reports
Drones used by Goldcrest Surveyors are equipped with high-resolution cameras capable of capturing every detail of your roof. We can identify issues such as cracked tiles, water damage, poor drainage, and other structural concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed in a traditional inspection.
The footage and data collected are then analysed by our experienced surveyors, who compile a comprehensive report detailing any concerns and recommended actions. The result is a thorough, data-driven assessment that gives you peace of mind and a clear plan for any necessary maintenance.
5. Minimal Disruption
For many property owners in Manchester, especially those managing busy commercial properties, the disruption caused by traditional roof inspections can be a major inconvenience. Scaffolding or aerial lifts can block access to buildings or cause delays in day-to-day operations. With drone inspections, we are able to complete assessments with minimal disruption. There’s no need to close off parts of the property, and inspections can often be completed in just a few hours.
6. Adaptable to All Properties
Manchester’s architecture varies greatly, from narrow terraced houses in areas like Chorlton or Didsbury to modern apartment buildings in the city centre. Each of these properties presents unique challenges when it comes to accessing rooftops. Our drones are highly maneuverable and capable of accessing roofs that would be difficult or impossible to reach using traditional methods. From the smallest residential properties to large-scale commercial buildings, our drone inspections provide comprehensive assessments for all types of properties.
