Aerial photo surveys: aerial photos and aerial post-inspection using digital aerial photography

The problem

When you have a problem with your roof or chimney - for example a slipped or missing tile, damaged flashings or loose guttering - gaining access to perform a survey can be difficult, dangerous and expensive.

Traditionally, above-ground areas are accessed by use of extending ladders or scaffolding. But the costs of erecting scaffolding - in terms of both financial outlay and Health and Safety risks - can prove prohibitive.

The solution

If you need a survey or post-inspection of your roof, guttering, chimney or downpipes, the safest and most cost-effective way to perform the survey is with digital aerial photography, using Property Renovators Ltd's ground-based, semi-automated equipment.

Our specialist digital aerial survey camera is raised to roof level on a mast, operated at ground level by our experienced operatives. Our operatives manoevre the camera with on-site positioning to ensure the best photographs possible - up to a height of 17 metres - with no need to erect unsightly, expensive scaffolding.

The benefits

There are many important benefits to choosing digital aerial photography for above-ground surveys and post-inspections. These include:

Cost effective: other digital aerial photography methods - like using an aeroplane or helicopter, or erecting scaffolding - can be expensive. An aerial photo survey or post-inspection performed with Property Renovators Ltd's ground-operated aerial photo survey equipment will cost considerably less.
Safe: as well as being expensive, using scaffolding to perform an above-ground survey presents potential Health and Safety issues - both to the construction team and to passers-by. Performing an aerial photo survey using our mast and specialist camera is
significantly safer than using either scaffolding or extending ladders
Fast: erecting scaffolding or using an aeroplane or helicopter can take a long time to organise, but if your roof is leaking you'll want it fixed without delay. Aerial photo surveys using our mast and specialist camera provide very quick results, so you'll be able to organise repairs as quickly as possible
Non-intrusive: with our digital aerial survey mast and camera there is no need for unsightly scaffolding or interruption to your household - there will simply be a van and mast outside your property for the very short duration of the survey, and no mess to clean up afterwards
Flexible: our mast and camera system allows us a great deal of flexibility when we carry out aerial photo surveys. With our specialist aerial photo survey equipment we can take aerial digital photos from a variety of angles and positions - allowing us to identify the problem quickly, up to a height of 17m
High quality aerial photography: our aerial photo survey equipment is extremely sophisticated, producing high quality digital images of your roof, downpipes, chimney or guttering which we'll copy to a disk for you, enabling you to review the photos with your builder or roofing contractor at your convenience.
