Our Roof Inspection Services
Understand Your Roof's Condition
Your roof is constantly exposed to rain, wind and changing weather conditions. Over time, even a well-maintained roof can develop problems that may not be immediately visible from the ground.
Damaged tiles, deteriorating flashing, blocked roof valleys and other roofing defects can allow water to enter your property, potentially causing damp and damage to the underlying structure.
At SCJ Roofing Solutions, we provide professional roof inspections and high-resolution drone surveys to help assess roofing conditions and identify visible areas of concern.
Based in Bromley, our experienced roofing team combines practical roofing knowledge with modern inspection techniques to examine different roof types and identify potential defects.
Whether you’re experiencing a roof leak, concerned about storm damage or simply want to understand the condition of an ageing roof, we can help you determine the appropriate next steps.
Our approach is straightforward: assess the roof, explain the findings and recommend suitable action where required.
What We Offer
Professional Roof Assessment Solutions
From investigating visible roof damage to assessing difficult-to-access roofing areas, we provide inspection services designed to help you understand your roof’s condition.
General Roof Inspections
A professional roof inspection can help identify visible signs of wear, damage and deterioration before they develop into more serious problems. We assess accessible roofing areas and examine relevant components, including roof coverings, flashing, junctions and other visible details, recommending further investigation where necessary.
High-Resolution Drone Roof Surveys
Drone technology allows suitable roof areas to be viewed and photographed from above without requiring someone to walk across the roof. Our high-resolution drone surveys can help identify visible problems such as missing tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating roof coverings and defects in difficult-to-reach locations.
Roof Leak Investigations
Water entering your property may originate from damaged tiles, defective flashing, roof junctions or other roofing problems. We investigate visible defects and consider potential sources of water penetration to help determine suitable repairs or further inspection requirements.
Storm Damage Inspections
Strong winds and heavy rainfall can damage roofing materials and expose existing weaknesses. We assess visible storm-related damage, including slipped tiles, damaged flashing and affected roofing components, helping identify areas that may require attention.
Flat Roof Inspections
Flat roofs can develop problems associated with damaged waterproofing, deteriorating joints, drainage defects and standing water. We assess visible flat roofing conditions, including GRP fibreglass and felt systems, and recommend suitable repairs or further investigation where appropriate.
Roof Condition Assessments
If you're concerned about an ageing roof or considering major roofing work, understanding its current condition is an important first step. We assess visible roofing defects and explain whether localised repairs, maintenance or more extensive work may be worth considering.
Modern Roofing Technology
A Clearer View of Your Roof
Some roofing problems are difficult to identify from ground level, particularly on taller properties, complex roof designs or areas with restricted access.
High-resolution drone surveys provide an alternative way of examining suitable roof areas, capturing detailed images that can help reveal visible damage and deterioration.
At SCJ Roofing Solutions, we combine drone imagery with practical roofing expertise to help assess the condition of roof coverings and associated components.
Benefits of Drone Roof Surveys
Detailed Roof Imagery
High-resolution photographs can help identify visible roofing defects and areas requiring closer attention.
Access to Difficult Areas
Drones can provide views of roof sections that may be difficult to examine from the ground.
Reduced Need for Roof Access
Drone inspections can reduce the need for initial physical access to certain roof areas, depending on the property and survey requirements.
Useful for Larger Roofs
Drone imagery can help assess suitable roof areas across larger or more complex properties.
Supports Repair Planning
Photographs can help identify areas of concern and inform recommendations for repairs or further investigation.
Visual Evidence of Condition
Images can provide a useful record of visible roofing conditions at the time of inspection.
Drone surveys have limitations. Some defects, such as hidden moisture damage, problems beneath roof coverings or structural deterioration, may require closer physical inspection.
Our team considers the most appropriate assessment method based on the property and roofing concerns.
Identifying Roofing Problems
Spot Potential Problems Before They Get Worse
Roof inspections can reveal visible defects that may otherwise go unnoticed until a leak or more serious problem develops.
At SCJ Roofing Solutions, we examine relevant roofing areas to help identify deterioration and recommend suitable action.
Common Problems That May Be Identified
- Cracked, slipped or missing roof tiles
- Damaged or displaced roof slates
- Deteriorating lead flashing
- Visible damage around chimneys
- Defective roof valleys and junctions
- Damaged flat roofing membranes
- Deteriorating ridge or hip details
- Blocked or damaged roof drainage areas
- Signs of storm-related roofing damage
- Visible deterioration of roof coverings
- Potential causes of rainwater penetration
- Areas requiring closer inspection or repair
Not every visible defect indicates a serious roofing problem. Equally, some underlying issues may not be identifiable through a visual inspection alone.
Our aim is to provide a practical assessment of the visible condition and explain whether repairs or further investigation are advisable.
Know When to Check
When Was Your Roof Last Inspected?
Many property owners only think about their roof when a problem becomes obvious.
However, arranging an inspection when warning signs appear, or as part of planned property maintenance, can help identify issues before they cause more extensive damage.
When You Notice a Leak
Water stains, damp patches or moisture entering your loft may indicate a roofing defect.
An assessment can help investigate possible causes before repairs are recommended.
Before Major Roofing Work
If you’re considering roof repairs or replacement, understanding the roof’s current condition helps inform the work required.
When Your Roof Is Ageing
Older roofing materials and components can deteriorate over time.
An inspection can help identify visible wear and areas that may need attention.
As Part of Property Maintenance
Periodic roof checks can help monitor the condition of roofing materials, flashing and drainage details.
When You Have Concerns About Hidden Areas
Complex roofs, high-level areas and difficult-to-access sections may benefit from drone imagery or other suitable inspection methods.
Making Informed Decisions
Does Your Roof Need Repairs or Replacement?
Not every roofing problem requires extensive work.
A few slipped tiles, damaged flashing or a localised defect may be resolved through targeted repairs. However, widespread deterioration or repeated roofing failures may indicate that more substantial work should be considered.
A professional roof inspection can help establish the visible condition of your roof and provide useful information before deciding on the next steps.
Repairs May Be Suitable When
- Damage is limited to a small section of the roof.
- Most roofing materials remain in good condition.
- Individual tiles, slates or flashing require attention.
- The surrounding roofing system appears sound.
- Localised repairs can address the identified problem.
Replacement May Be Worth Considering When
- Roofing materials have deteriorated extensively.
- Problems affect multiple areas of the roof.
- Leaks continue despite previous repairs.
- Significant defects are identified in the roofing system.
- Extensive repairs may offer limited long-term value.
At SCJ Roofing Solutions, we explain the findings of our assessment and recommend practical solutions based on the roof’s condition.

Chimney Repair Advice
Your Questions Answered
A roof inspection involves assessing the visible condition of roofing materials and relevant components, such as tiles, slates, flashing, valleys and roof junctions. The precise inspection method depends on the property, accessibility and reason for the assessment.
A drone roof survey uses a remotely piloted aircraft equipped with a camera to capture images of suitable roof areas. These images can help identify visible defects and provide information about the roof’s condition without requiring direct access to every section.
A drone can help identify visible defects that may contribute to leaks, including damaged tiles, deteriorating flashing and faulty roof junctions. However, it cannot reliably confirm every source of water penetration, particularly where the problem is hidden beneath roofing materials.
Neither method is automatically better in every situation. Drone surveys are useful for examining difficult-to-access roof areas and capturing detailed imagery. Physical inspections may be necessary to assess components, investigate hidden defects or confirm the extent of damage.
A drone survey can often capture images without anyone walking on the roof. However, some roofing problems may require a closer physical inspection to establish the cause or determine the repairs needed.
A roof inspection is worth considering when you notice leaks, damaged roofing materials or signs of deterioration, particularly following severe weather. Periodic checks may also be useful as part of a planned property maintenance programme.
Yes. A roof inspection can help identify visible storm-related damage such as slipped tiles, damaged flashing, broken roofing components and other defects. Some damage may require closer investigation before the full extent can be established.
Not always. Drone operations depend on factors including airspace restrictions, weather conditions, surrounding obstacles, safety considerations and applicable aviation regulations. A suitable alternative inspection method may be required where drone flight is not possible.
Yes. SCJ Roofing Solutions works with GRP fibreglass and felt roofing systems and can assess visible flat roofing conditions, including damaged coverings, roof junctions and drainage concerns.
An inspection can help identify visible damage and deterioration and inform recommendations about repairs or replacement. However, some issues may require further investigation before a definitive decision can be made.
The cost depends on the property’s size, roof complexity, accessibility, the inspection required and whether photographs or a written report are included. Contact SCJ Roofing Solutions to discuss your requirements and obtain details of the service and any applicable charges.
The findings and documentation provided should be confirmed when arranging the inspection. If you need a formal written report for a property purchase, insurance matter or another specific purpose, explain this when contacting SCJ so the appropriate service can be discussed.
Drone photographs may provide useful evidence of visible roof damage. However, the documentation required for an insurance claim depends on the insurer and the circumstances. A drone survey does not automatically replace a formal insurance assessment or specialist report.
