Scaffold-Free Valley Inspections.
Why pay for access when you can pay for data?
Hiring scaffolding for terraced properties in Bedwas or Trethomas can be logistically difficult and expensive.
Our drone survey provides a faster, more practical alternative:
- ✅ Evidence for Insurance: Validation for storm damage claims with 4K photos.
- ✅ Industrial Audits: Efficient scanning of large commercial roofs on the estate.
- ✅ Trace and Access: Find the exact entry point of a leak in minutes.
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. Our price is the same whether your roof is perfect or needs repair.
2. The Evidence
The Roofer: Often relies on verbal opinions or blurry ground photos.
CalonTerra: A downloadable Visual Condition Report with zoomed-in 4K evidence.
3. The Cost
The Roofer: You may pay for access (scaffolding) just for an estimate.
CalonTerra: A small fee for the truth. Only pay a tradesman to fix the specific damage you can see.
Buying or Selling in CF83?
"The survey flagged a potential roof issue."
Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds on period properties. Standard surveys often can't see high, complex roofs properly.
The Solution: We provide the 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 recent.
- ✅ HD Evidence: 4K photos of fresh damage.
- ✅ Date-Stamped Data: Proof for your claim.
- ✅ Independent Validation: Unbiased reports.
