When delivering retrofit improvement works, whether for solar panel installations, insulation upgrades, or wider home energy efficiency schemes, accurate and reliable roof surveys are essential. For contractors working under #PAS2030, #PAS2035, #Retrofit UK, #WarmHomes, or #SHDFwave3 frameworks, understanding the condition of a property’s roof before any works begin can save time, reduce risks, and ensure compliance.
At Drone Site Surveys, we offer innovative roof inspection services specifically designed to meet the needs of retrofit and renewable energy contractors. And the best part? We don’t require scaffolding, helping you work smarter, faster, and more sustainably.
Why Roof Surveys Matter for Retrofit Works
When installing solar panels or improving insulation, it’s vital to know exactly what you’re working with. A pre-installation roof survey can:
- Identify structural issues that need addressing before works begin.
- Provide accurate measurements for panel layout and fixings.
- Detect hidden defects such as cracked tiles, blocked gutters, or deteriorating flashing.
- Highlight any protrusions, vents, or obstructions that could affect installation.
By tackling these points early, you reduce the risk of delays, unexpected costs, and installation failures.
No Scaffolding – Safer, Faster, and Cheaper
Traditional roof inspections often require scaffolding, which is costly, time-consuming, and inconvenient for property owners. Our drone-based roof surveys eliminate that need entirely.
Benefits include:
- Lower costs – no scaffold hire or complex site setup.
- Faster turnaround – surveys completed in hours, not days.
- Minimal disruption – no invasive equipment around the property.
- Reduced risk – no working at height for surveyors.
A Low-Carbon, Cost-Effective Solution
We know that many contractors are committed to low-carbon working practices as part of their retrofit commitments. Our drone inspections require significantly fewer resources compared to traditional methods, helping to reduce your project’s carbon footprint.
By removing the need for scaffolding and ladders, we cut down on transport emissions, reduce waste, and support your sustainability targets, all while delivering high-quality inspection data.
Perfect for PAS2030 and PAS2035 Compliance
If you’re working to PAS2030 or PAS2035 standards, our surveys provide the detailed photographic and measurement evidence you need for compliance. We can supply:
- High-resolution imagery of the roof condition.
- 3D models and measurements for design and planning.
- Thermal imaging to identify insulation gaps or water ingress.
Whether you’re a solar panel installer, insulation contractor, or full-service retrofit provider, our data can be integrated into your project documentation and reports with ease.
Helping You Deliver Better Retrofit Outcomes
We’ve worked with contractors across the UK on projects ranging from individual homes to large-scale housing schemes. By using our services, you gain:
- Accurate as-built measurements before installation.
- Condition assessments to prevent costly rework.
- Thermal inspections to support energy efficiency goals.
