1. Get Quote
Submit the form. We calculate the exact travel rate from our NP4 HQ (approx £25-£35 depending on BS postcode).
2. Arrive & Pay
Accept the quote to book. To prevent fraud, payment is only taken upon arrival once flight safety is confirmed.
3. The 20-Min Scan
We use quiet drones to scan difficult roofs. Perfect for tall Georgian properties where ladders can't reach.
4. Receive Data Package
You receive a PDF Condition Report and a link to every raw image & 4K video to show your insurer or roofer.
The "Cross-Bridge" Guarantee
We monitor the Severn Estuary weather. If we travel to Bristol and cannot fly due to sudden weather changes, you do not pay a penny. We take the risk, not you.
*Disclaimer: Rescheduled visits are billed at the original quoted rate.
Cheaper Than Scaffolding.
Even with travel costs included.
Hiring scaffolding in Bristol is expensive, often costing £600+ just for access.
Our drone survey (including the travel fee from Wales) typically costs less than half of a scaffold tower. Plus, we don't block your pavement or annoy the neighbours.
- ✅ Evidence for Insurance: Validation for storm damage claims.
- ✅ Protection from Upselling: Hand our report to a builder and say "Fix exactly this."
- ✅ High Level Access: Inspect 3-storey Victorian chimneys easily.
Don't Ask a Roofer if You Need a New Roof
We are Independent Data Collectors. We don't fix roofs, so we have no incentive to "find" extra work.
1. The Incentive
The Roofer: Makes money by finding defects, selling materials, and increasing the job scope.
CalonTerra: We charge a fixed flat fee. Whether your roof is perfect or falling apart, our price is the same.
2. The Evidence
The Roofer: "Trust me, mate." (Verbal opinion or a blurry phone photo).
CalonTerra: A downloadable Visual Condition Report with zoomed-in 4K photos of every crack, slip, and seal.
3. The Cost
The Roofer: You pay for scaffolding just to *look* at the problem (£600+ in Bristol).
CalonTerra: You pay a small fee for the truth. You only pay a tradesman to fix the specific damage you can actually see.
Buying or Selling in Bristol?
"The Mortgage Lender has put a retention on the house."
We hear this daily. Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds, especially on older Clifton properties. Standard RICS Homebuyer surveys often state "Roof not inspected - obscured from ground."
The Solution: We provide the independent, high-level evidence your lender requires to lift the retention.
Insurance Claims & Storm Damage
If you are claiming for "Storm Event" damage, your insurer will demand proof that the damage is new and not just "wear and tear."
- ✅ HD Evidence: Irrefutable 4K photos of fresh tile breaks.
- ✅ Date-Stamped Data: Proof of when the damage occurred.
- ✅ Independent Validation: We don't profit from the repair.
