Professional Drone Roof Surveys in Leeds

  • Vista Metrics provides professional drone roof surveys in Leeds, delivering high-resolution visual and thermal inspection data without scaffolding, cherry pickers, or disruption to site operations.

    Our surveys are used by facilities managers, landlords, schools, commercial property owners, and insurers who need clear, defensible evidence of roof condition quickly and cost-effectively.

  • Using advanced UAV platforms equipped with optical and thermal sensors, we carry out detailed roof inspections across Leeds and West Yorkshire, identifying defects that are often missed during ground-based checks.

    A drone roof survey allows us to safely inspect:

    • Flat and pitched roofs

    • Commercial and industrial units

    • Schools and academies

    • Warehouses and retail premises

    • Residential blocks and large dwellings

    All surveys are completed without physical access to the roof, significantly reducing risk, cost, and downtime.

  • Our roof surveys are commonly used to identify:

    • Failed or damaged membranes

    • Ponding water and drainage issues

    • Cracked, displaced, or missing tiles

    • Degraded flashing and edge details

    • Thermal heat loss and insulation failure

    • Moisture ingress and trapped water

    • Storm and impact damage

    Thermal roof surveys are particularly effective for locating hidden moisture and insulation defects that are not visible to the naked eye.

  • Each roof survey includes a clear, client-ready deliverable, designed for decision-making rather than technical jargon.

    You will receive:

    • High-resolution aerial imagery

    • Thermal images where applicable

    • Annotated defect imagery

    • Clear findings and observations

    • Optional comparison surveys for condition tracking

    Reports are suitable for internal records, FM assurance, landlord compliance, insurance claims, or contractor tendering.

  • Compared to scaffolding or MEWP access, drone roof surveys offer:

    • No working-at-height risk

    • No disruption to occupants or operations

    • Faster mobilisation and completion

    • Lower overall inspection cost

    • Permanent visual evidence for audit and assurance

    In many cases, a drone roof inspection can be completed within a single visit, with results delivered shortly after.
