Drone roof surveys · Edinburgh & the Lothians
Edinburgh’s tenement roofs are some of the hardest in the country to inspect from the ground. We fly them — shared stone roofs, chimney stacks, the lot — and give every owner a clear report they can put in front of their neighbours.
The weather up here
Edinburgh gets wind off the Forth and rain that sits in the stone, and the city’s tenements make a roof problem everyone’s problem — a shared roof, a shared stack, and a repair bill split between flats. Slipped slates, cracked cope stones and failing lead around the chimney heads are the classics.
On a four-storey tenement, none of it is visible from the pavement, and getting a common repair agreed usually means getting everyone to see the same evidence. A drone captures the whole shared roof in one flight — dated, clear and easy to circulate.
Roofs we fly
From the Old and New Town tenements to the suburban semis of the Lothians, we survey shared and single roofs alike. Glasgow and the rest of central Scotland by arrangement.
