1. Get Free Quote
Submit the form. We are based in BS8 (Clifton), so BS3 residents pay Zero Travel Costs.
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, high-stability drones to scan complex urban roofscapes. Ideal for tight terraces in Bedminster or converted lofts in Southville.
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 "Urban Canopy" Guarantee
Dense urban areas can have unexpected wind tunnels or micro-climates. If we arrive and cannot fly safely due to environmental factors, you do not pay a penny.
*Disclaimer: Rescheduled visits are billed at the original quoted rate.
Scaffold-Free Urban Inspections.
Why pay for scaffolding in tight streets when you can inspect from the air?
Installing scaffolding in dense terraced areas like Bedminster or Southville is often impractical, expensive, and disruptive.
Our drone survey provides a faster, safer alternative:
- ✅ Evidence for Insurance: Validation for storm damage claims with 4K photos.
- ✅ Terrace Risk Mapping: Identifying shared gutter and party-wall issues.
- ✅ 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 BS3?
"The survey flagged a potential roof issue."
Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds on terraced or converted 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 & Boundary Disputes
If you are claiming for "Storm Event" damage or resolving a "party wall" leak dispute, your insurer or mediator will demand objective proof.
- ✅ HD Evidence: 4K photos of fresh damage.
- ✅ Date-Stamped Data: Proof for your claim.
- ✅ Independent Validation: Unbiased reports.
