Drone roof inspections

Some roofs just aren't safe to climb — tall chimneys, steep pitches, fragile old slate or a roof with no safe access. Our drone survey gets eyes on the whole roof in minutes, capturing high-resolution photos and 4K video of every tile, valley, flashing and chimney, with nobody leaving the ground.

  • Full roof, chimney and valley survey without scaffolding or ladders
  • Detailed photo and video report you keep — ideal for insurance and quotes
  • Faster, safer and cheaper than a scaffolded inspection
  • Same-day call-outs across Braintree, Witham and the surrounding area

Customer testimonials

What our customers say

Had a new slate roof put on our place in Bocking. Turned up when they said, kept the site tidy, and the price on the quote was the price we paid. Proper job.
Dave R. · Bocking, BraintreeSlate re-roof
Iron Peak sorted a flat roof that two other firms said couldn't be fixed. EPDM rubber, done in a day, no leaks since. Wish we'd called them first.
Sarah M. · WithamEPDM flat roof
Chimney was leaking into the bedroom. They came out the next day, repointed it and redid the lead. Honest lads, didn't try to sell us work we didn't need.
Trevor P. · ChelmsfordChimney & leadwork
Full house re-roof and new guttering. Clean, quick and the scaffolding was up and down with no fuss. Recommended them to two neighbours already.
Linda K. · HalsteadRe-roof & guttering
Built our rear extension including the roof. One team doing the lot meant it actually ran on time. Genuinely decent tradesmen.
Michael B. · Great NotleyExtension & roof
Storm blew half a ridge off in February. They were out the same afternoon and made it sound before the next lot of rain. Brilliant response.

Common questions

Roofing questions, answered

+How much does a new roof cost in Braintree?

Most three-bed semi re-roofs in the Braintree area fall between £6,000 and £12,000 depending on pitch, tile type, scaffolding and whether battens and membrane need replacing. We give a written, itemised quote after a free roof survey so there are no surprises.

+Do you charge for quotes or roof surveys?

No. Surveys and quotes across Braintree and the surrounding Essex villages are free and carry no obligation.

+How quickly can you attend a leak?

Emergency leaks and storm damage in the Braintree area are usually attended within 24 hours, with a temporary weatherproof fix first if a full repair needs scaffolding.

+Are you insured?

Yes — we carry public liability insurance and work to current British Standards, and all scaffolding is supplied by accredited local providers.

+How long does a re-roof take?

A typical semi-detached re-roof takes three to five working days once scaffolding is up, weather permitting.
