Why Drone Roof Inspections Are Replacing Ladders in Belfast.

Written By John Finnerty

Introduction

Traditional roof inspections in Belfast often mean ladders, scaffolding, and risk. But today, drones are transforming how homeowners check for roof damage. At VoltView NI, we use CAA-certified UAVs to deliver safe, same-day reports without anyone leaving the ground.

Why Homeowners Are Switching to Drones

  • Safety first – No climbing ladders or scaffolding. Drone scans keep everyone on the ground.

  • Faster inspections – A full survey of your roof can take just 30 minutes.

  • Same-day reports – HD photos and videos delivered within hours.

  • Cost savings – From just £149, far less than scaffolding or cherry pickers.

Common Roof Problems Drones Detect in Belfast Homes

  • Missing or slipped slates – caused by NI winds and heavy rain.

  • Flashing issues – cracks around chimneys or roof edges that let water in.

  • Blocked gutters – moss and debris leading to damp walls.

  • Chimney mortar cracks – a common cause of leaks in older Belfast terraces.

Case Example

A recent inspection in East Belfast spotted four slipped slates and cracked chimney flashing before the homeowner even noticed a leak. A £149 scan prevented a £2,000 repair bill.
