What is a Drone Roof Survey?

Our team has grown by the addition of our new drone. Used for carrying our roof and site surveys in those difficult to reach areas.

A drone roof survey refers to the use of a drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to capture aerial data with downward-facing cameras. The use of drones within the survey industry is growing, they provide an efficient, cost effective and much safer way to collect extremely accurate data.

Prior to aerial inspections using UAVs, surveying a roof, chimney or other high structure could be a costly exercise. Now using licensed pilots, drone inspections of structures such as roofs, chimneys, churches, large buildings and high towers no longer require the use of scaffolding or mechanical lifters.

Drones can capture high definition video footage which provide a view from above without the cost of hiring a plane or helicopter. Drone Roof Surveys carried out in this manner are also more affordable, quicker and pose fewer health and safety risks than setting up scaffolding and access platforms.  By eliminating manual ‘at-height’ working, they greatly reduce risk and improve safety outcomes.

Capturing topographic data with a drone is up to five times faster than with land-based methods and requires less manpower.

Why do a roof inspection?

Going up the home of your own roof may sound like such a simple thing that using a drone doesn’t seem necessary, but things are different when doing a roof inspection is part of your job. Depending on what line of work you’re in, you might have to do dozens of roof inspections in a single day. Not only do you put human life at risk whenever you inspect a roof the old-fashioned way, but it’s also very time-consuming

WE LISTENED TO YOU AND WE CAN NOW OFFER FINANCE

Yes that’s right, we are now offering finance!

Over the past couple of years we have been asked what payment methods we offer, traditionally we have only ever offered the standard payment methods; cash, cheque, bank transfer and credit / debit cards.

Not many customers have asked for finance, but recently I was asked by a friend of mine, ‘how many people do you think have a spare £8,000 to £12,000 laying around to invest in a new roof or driveway?.

Sure people may have £3,000 to £5,000 to invest into the roof, but if they knew spending that little more could last them double the length of time would they finance it if it was offered to them? After all, the labour value to fit the goods is the same, it’s the quality of the materials from the leading manufacturers that costs more but simply last so much longer.

He also said people have pride and won’t ask for something like finance unless its offered to them, I thought about that for a moment and to be honest I think he’s right, would I feel comfortable asking, probably not and i’m quite outspoken!

So after having many discussions with friends, other business owners and many of our customers, we decided to look into this more and see what we need to do. Let me tell you, this has not been an easy process, we have done this the right way, we are now FCA approved and are authorised and regulated by the Financial conduct authority with registration number  708623. We are a credit broker, not a lender, and offer credit facilities from a panel of lenders; why is this good? This gives us the freedom to find you the the best possible rates, we aren’t tied in to one lender and depending on your circumstances can offer the best finance package for you. I

We will always be transparent with our customers and tell you exactly what we think is the best option available, without you we simply don’t have a business so we take every decision seriously and work closely with all parties involved. We are now set up so if you are ready to start planning your new home improvement – give us a call to get the ball rolling 01202375847

4 Home Improvements For The Holidays

There’s never a better time to enjoy the company of your family and friends than the holidays. With all the dinner arrangements and visits going on during this time, you need to make sure you’ve got the right ambiance and enough space to accommodate your visitors. Here are a few home improvements you can definitely take on before the crowd pours in:

Expand your living area by removing the chimney

If you’re one of the many people who don’t use the chimney anymore at all, you can create more space in your living area by removing it entirely. This renovation, which may affect the stability of your internal walls, should only be carried out by contractors specialising in this. While this home improvement is under permitted development, planning permission might be required if you’re living in a protected area.

Once you’re over the arduous first step, you’ll be surprised about how much space you freed up. And there’s an endless possibility with this space! If the chimney happened to be in the bedroom, you can build a walk-in wardrobe over it or bring in an extra bed for your visitors. If it’s in the living room, you can place a quaint coffee table with matching chairs. The chimney is usually the focal point of any room. Whether you’re going for a decorative or a functional space, your home will surely feel airier than before.

Give your patio a deep clean

Besides the get-togethers, the holidays are also the perfect time to do the home improvement projects you’ve been putting off for the rest of the year. Welcome and entertain your visitors to a pristine patio with the help of some power cleaning. Unlike manual scrubbing, power cleaning gets rid of the deep-seated dirt on your patio – and driveway! – without tiring out your arms or handling tough chemicals. You can leave the dirty work to the nearest contractors.

Install PVC cladding

If you want a fresh look to your home but don’t have the budget to tear down the walls, why not install an aesthetic cladding? With the unpredictable and very wet British weather, your home can definitely use an extra layer of protection from the showers. Durasid cladding waterproofs your home’s exterior without making it look like a flimsy giant doll house. With the natural wood-like finish in classic colours, it will instantly blend with your home’s aesthetics without the high cost.

Convert your garden to a driveway

Here’s a problem you couldn’t ignore when you’re welcoming a lot of guests: parking space. Converting your poorly-tended garden to a very functional driveway not only boosts your home’s kerb appeal; it also saves you from a lot of cleaning time throughout the year. Impress your visitors with a newly installed block paved driveway or even extend the paving to your patio for a unified look.

Since this one is more on the expensive side in home improvements, you can take your time in choosing the kind of driveway and stones you want. For a clean, modern look, you can opt for (paving variant 1) or (paving variant 2). For a more timeless look, go for (paving variant 3) or (paving variant 4). Either way, a new driveway is a great investment to have as in can last you about 15-20 years. Among driveway options, block paving is also the easiest to maintain as you’ll only need to replace the broken block in case it cracks and not dismantle the whole thing.

The holidays need not be a stressful. With the right preparation, you can have the space and the confidence to entertain your guests and keep your home looking great for months or even years after.
