The "Valley Access" Guarantee

*Disclaimer: Rescheduled visits are billed at the original quoted rate.
TERRACE PRECISION
Victorian architecture meets 4K aerial data.
Pontypool’s terraced rows often share party walls and hidden valley gutters. Standard ground surveys miss the critical junctions.
Our drone survey provides precise leak tracing:
- ✅ Valley Gutter Inspection: Identify blockages hidden between terraces.
- ✅ Lead Flashing Failure: Spot splits where Abersychan’s steep slopes meet.
- ✅ Party Wall Condition: Visual evidence for shared roof disputes.
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 regardless of what we find.
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 (ladders) just for an estimate.
CalonTerra: A small fee for the truth. Only pay a tradesman to fix the damage you can see.
Buying or Selling in Pontypool?
"The survey flagged a potential roof issue."
Banks often demand a "Specialist Roof Report" before releasing funds. Standard surveys often can't see high 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.
