Sweeping and inspection

Chimney Drone Inspection

High resolution aerial survey of stacks, pots and flaunching without scaffold or ladders.

Some stacks are too tall, too steep or too awkward to inspect safely from a ladder. A drone inspection gives a clear, close up view of the pots, flaunching, pointing and lead work in minutes, with photographs you can keep.

It is the quickest way to find out whether a stack needs repointing, whether a cowl has blown off in a storm or why water is tracking into the chimney breast, without putting up scaffolding.

What is included

  • Aerial photographs and video of every face of the stack
  • Close inspection of pots, cowls, flaunching and lead flashing
  • Check of pointing and brickwork for cracks and spalling
  • Written summary with images and recommendations
  • Quotation for any repairs identified

Who it is for

  • Tall or hard to reach stacks on three storey and hillside homes
  • Storm damage checks before contacting the insurer
  • Buyers and landlords wanting an external condition report
