What we fly

One survey, close on the stack, two different readers

The flying is much the same each time. What changes is who is reading the report at the end and what they already suspect before it lands.

Chimney Survey

Close aerial photographs of a chimney stack, pots and cowls, flaunching, flashing and soakers, brickwork and pointing, taken close enough for a sweep or a roofer to read.

  • Every face of the stack photographed at 100 megapixels, close enough to read a mortar joint
  • The flaunching around each pot checked for cracking and separation from the pot
  • Flashing and soakers checked where the stack meets the roof covering
  • Brickwork and pointing checked for perishing, spalling and staining that suggests water is tracking down from above

For Sweeps and Roofers

A dated, close photographic record of a stack a client can book directly, or you can send on, so you are quoting or advising from evidence rather than what is visible from the ground.

  • The report addressed to you as well as your client, on request
  • Findings written for a trade reader, not simplified past the point of being useful
  • No repair pricing in the report, so it never competes with your quote
  • Full resolution images of every pot, joint and course of brick, so you can zoom in on the same detail
For sweeps and roofers

For the parts you cannot see from the ground
