The "Valley Ingress" Guarantee
The Rhymney Valley traps moisture, causing hidden leaks. If we find no actionable defects, you pay only 50%.
*For properties in NP12 with Victorian terraces or steep pitches.
SCAFFOLD-FREE EVIDENCE
Why pay £800 for access when you can pay £265 for data?
Cherry pickers cost £500–£800 just to *look* at a roof in Blackwood’s tight terraces.
Our drone survey provides a faster, cheaper alternative:
- ✅ Evidence for Insurance: Validation for storm damage claims with 4K video evidence.
- ✅ Protection from Upselling: Hand our report to a builder and say "Fix exactly this."
- ✅ 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. 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 (£800+).
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 Blackwood?
"The Mortgage Lender has put a retention on the house."
Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds. 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.
