What is a Drone Roof Survey?

A drone roof survey provides a rooftop aerial inspection. Steep slopes, valleys, hips, verges, chimneys and skylights are safely surveyed using a drone. Infrared thermal imaging is used to identify areas of water ingress that are impossible to access without scaffolding, or see with the naked eye.

What is Roof Leak Detection?

Roof leak detection is a process used to identify the exact location of a leak in a roof. Leaks can be tricky to pinpoint because water can travel through the roofing materials and show up far from the source. Our Roof leak detection services utilize drone thermal imaging, handheld infrared cameras, tracer gases and fluorescent dyes to locate the leak efficiently and accurately.

ADI Roof Surveys serve all of Darlington

ADI Roof Surveys provide a complete range of specialist roof surveys in Darlington. Our surveys identify roof leaks, water damage and help to protect your building from structural damage.

Darlington has many old streets (Duke Street for example) with aging roofs constructed with slate or clay tiles. Older roofs require periodic roof surveys to identify roofing problems and to maintain structural integrity.

Darlington neighbourhoods such as Cockerton and Faverdale have many properties built in the 1960’s to 1970’s when concrete roof tiles were used. The mortar used for bedding ridge, verge and hip tiles has a life expectancy of 60 - 80 years. The mortar on roofs built in Darlington in the 1960’s is coming to the end of its expected lifespan. A roof survey will identify failing mortar allowing swift repairs to be arranged, extending the lifespan of your roof and preventing water damage in your property.
