Five benefits of using a Drone for roof inspections


When carrying out roof inspections, it is imperative that certain safety regulations are put in place when using human-led methods. However, by using a drone, the use of this technology eliminates those safety pitfalls – and here’s why.

Quote 4 Drones has carried out extensive research in order to recognise why drones are the best way forward and here are five simple reasons:

1 Safe roof inspections

Conventional methods of roof inspections can potentially put workers at risk due to building heights, complex designs, roof deterioration and hard to reach access areas. Collecting data using a Drone is the safest way of inspection without putting lives at risk.

2 Ability to collect in-depth data

Unlike manual inspections, Drones can collect useful data using its high-quality imagery, video and thermal cameras. Drones can take an image or a video, repeatedly, allowing building inspectors to make comparisons if needs be for structural repairs.

3 High efficiency levels

Traditionally, a lot of preparation goes into carrying out a building inspection. Considering the time, it takes to mount and secure the climbing equipment used for the inspection and combining the different analysis to produce one report, a Drone can do this in a fraction of the time.

It’s a simple case of arriving on site and letting the drone do its magic. Drones can transmit data to inspectors on the ground or through iCloud, allowing them to analyse data to compile a report.

4 Cost efficient

Conventional methods for building inspection require the transportation of expensive scaffolding, ladders and climbing equipment. But using a Drone eliminates all these factors reducing, costs.

Reducing these costs means several inspections in one day.

5 Reduction in insurance costs

Every building inspection must have insurance in order to make sure workers will be covered in case of accidents and injuries. And the insurance is usually quite high. A Drone cuts out the regulations required by health and safety as manual workers are not required.

The Most Immersive Flying Experience!!

FPV drones are quickly becoming a huge trend within the drone industry. What is a FPV drone? FPV stands for first-person view. Flying an FPV drone, means that the pilot see’s what the drone sees.   Traditional drones are flown through the pilot’s perspective on the ground. FPV drones are piloted through the perspective of the drone via an onboard camera that is placed on the drone and transmits a livestream straight to FPV goggles, a headset, a smartphone device, or other screen. FPV drones offer the pilot a much more immersive flying experience, which can be shared with anyone watching the video captured.   The benefits of flying an FPV drone?   An immersive experience that uses technology to provide pilots with the most futuristic viewing. Precise flying and better accuracy allowing quicker reactions and better awareness of surroundings. Allows the pilot to capture stunning aerial images and video footage. Can be flown indoors as well to showcase the internal ...

Drone Virtual Tour: Holiday Parks

  A virtual tour is a great opportunity to showcase any holiday park or campsite at it's best. Drone video and photography can provide an interactive experience that simply cannot be matched by static photography. Unlike traditional photography, aerial shots give a new sense of perspective as well as showing off the great location and facilities of a holiday park or camp site.  A Drone can capture all the important visuals to communicate a brands identity and present facilities in the best light. Drone footage will help to promote a holiday park and can attract new customers that may not have seen the facilities before especially when viewing the unique angles from above which would be engaging and can lead to an increase in bookings.   Take a look at what Partington Park have created using a drone: If you own a holiday property, cottage, caravan or campsite and you would like to use a drone video to help make your property stand out from your competition, contact Quo...
