Heritage-Preserving Inspections.
Why risk scaffolding damage to period facades when you can inspect from the air?
Installing scaffolding on tall Victorian properties in Penarth or near the marina can be complex and potentially damaging.
Our drone survey provides a safer, non-invasive alternative:
- ✅ Evidence for Insurance: Validation for storm damage claims with 4K photos.
- ✅ Coastal Corrosion Checks: Identifying salt-driven lead flashing and mortar degradation.
- ✅ 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 scaffolding access 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 CF64?
"The survey flagged a potential roof issue."
Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds on period or coastal 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 & Coastal Exposure
If you are claiming for "Storm Event" damage on a coastal property, your insurer will demand proof that the damage is recent and not just "wear and tear" from salt air and wind.
- ✅ HD Evidence: 4K photos of fresh damage.
- ✅ Date-Stamped Data: Proof for your claim.
- ✅ Independent Validation: Unbiased reports.
Typical Defects We Expose
Damaged / Slipped Tiles
Identify slipped or missing slates caused by wind and salt air. Critical for Trace and Access on exposed coastal pitches.
Chimney Stack Pointing
Check for lead flashing issues and cracked, salt-damaged pointing on tall, exposed stacks common in CF64.
Blocked Guttering Check
Spot salt-driven bio-growth and siltation in gutters from above.
Fascia / Soffit Issues
Identify salt-driven water damage and rot on wooden fascia boards.
CF64 Housing Intelligence
Our drones are calibrated to spot specific defects common to the Penarth coastal area:
- Salt-Air Corrosion: Identifying oxidation on lead flashing and spalling on stone/mortar joints.
- Severn Exposure: Detecting wind-driven slate displacement and ridge tile uplift.
- Marina Membranes: Checking flat-roof integrity and drainage on modern Penarth Marina builds.
- Esplanade Terraces: Inspecting for moisture traps at balcony junctions on cliff-top properties.
