Our Simple, Secure Process
From panic to clarity in four steps. No hidden costs.
1. Get Free Quote
Submit the form. Our chief pilot receives it instantly and sends you a fixed-price quote based on your property size.
2. Arrive & Pay
Accept the quote to book. To prevent fraud, payment is only taken upon arrival (or via phone on-site) once flight safety is confirmed.
3. The 20-Min Scan
We use quiet drones to scan every sq/cm, taking 100s of photos. The price is fixed, even if it takes longer.
4. Receive Data Package
Back at HQ, we use AI-assisted analysis to compile your report. You receive a PDF Condition Report and a link to every raw image & 4K video captured.
The "No-Fly" Guarantee*
We conduct onsite legality and safety checks before take-off. If we cannot legally or safely fly due to weather or airspace restrictions on the day, you do not pay a penny until we fly.
*Disclaimer: This guarantee provides zero upfront risk for you. We do not hold your funds during weather delays; payment is only due upon successful flight completion. Rescheduled visits are billed at the original quoted rate.
The Camera Doesn't Lie.
Ever wondered what's really happening up there?
A roofer on a ladder can tell you anything. "It's worse than we thought" is an expensive phrase. We give you the Power of Knowledge.
Our 4K drones fly inches from your tiles to capture crystal-clear evidence. You see exactly what we see:
- ✅ 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."
- ✅ Peace of Mind: Check that chimney stack without leaving the ground.
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. We have zero reason to lie.
2. The Evidence
The Roofer: "Trust me, mate." (Verbal opinion or a blurry phone photo from a ladder).
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 (£500+).
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?
"The Mortgage Lender has put a retention on the house."
We hear this daily. 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 and get your mortgage approved.
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, so insurers trust our impartiality.
- ✅ Avoid "Cowboy" Quotes: Hand our report to a roofer and ask for a quote to fix only what is shown.
