By offering drone roof inspections.

- Drone inspections are much cheaper than traditional methods allowing you to retain more of the charge for carrying out the inspection than having to pay up for expensive scaffolding and/or cherry pickers
- Drone inspections are far less inconvenient for the customer

- Have the ability to offer your clients cheap regular inspections as preventative action to save them money on repairing what would have far more expensive had damage gone unnoticed for a long time winning you repeat work and retaining customers
How would it work?
We are willing to “white label” meaning that we will carry out the work under your brand. As far as the client is concerned, we are you. You offer it as part of your overall package cost and we will invoice you.
This will save you the cost and heartache of becoming authorised yourselves and from having to learn a whole new skill set.
If you are a national company we suggest that you retain independent drone operators in all the locations that you work so that you have the ability to arrange a drone inspection quickly.
