Post-event damage assessment
Storm, wind, hail and impact damage documented in full without anyone on the roof.
- Full roof and facade coverage
- Thermal check for water ingress
- LiDAR measurements for repair scope
Insurance Assessments
Objective evidence for fair, faster claim resolution.
High-resolution imagery, thermal data and LiDAR that accurately document damage to roofs, buildings and assets, plus pre-loss baselines and risk assessments that keep you ahead of claims.
Aerial & Site Services
Built by people who have adjusted the claims.
Our leadership includes insurance loss adjustment experience, so we know what an adjuster needs to see: dated, georeferenced, photographic evidence that separates pre-existing wear from event damage. Drones reach damaged roofs safely and quickly, often the same or next day after an event.

Pre-loss baselines
A timestamped record of condition and geometry, before anything happens.
- Removes disputes about pre-existing conditions
- Interior and exterior 3D records
Preventative risk assessments
Identify maintenance issues that would undermine a future claim.
- Blocked gutters and vegetation
- Moisture and membrane failures

How quickly can you attend after a storm?
Standard bookings are usually within 3–5 business days. For urgent damage events we prioritise rapid response, often same or next day depending on location and weather.
Can investigation costs be covered by insurance?
Often, yes. Check with your insurer. Our reports provide the evidence they need.
