Why pay for access when you can pay for data?

Hiring access equipment for a new-build inspection in Rogerstone can be costly and disruptive.

Our drone survey provides a faster, cleaner alternative:

  • Evidence for Warranty: Validation for snagging lists and insurance claims.
  • Solar Array Checks: Inspect mounting integrity and panel condition safely.
  • Trace and Access: Find the exact entry point of a leak in minutes.

Rogerstone: Newer Roofs, Different Failures

Jubilee Park, Bassaleg and Pye Corner are largely modern stock — which fails in modern ways.

Snagging Before the Warranty Expires

The estates around Jubilee Park and Pye Corner were built quickly. Dry-verge clips left off, mortar bedding missed at the ridge, flashings badly dressed at abutments: none of it is visible from your garden, and all of it is the developer's responsibility while the warranty runs. A survey while you still have a claim is worth far more than one afterwards.

Solar Arrays and What Sits Beneath Them

Rogerstone has a great many retrofitted panels. An array conceals the roof surface it is mounted to, so slipped tiles, disturbed flashings and corroding mounting rails go unnoticed for years. We photograph the panels, the mountings and the roof around them, and can add a thermal pass to identify cells running hot.

Cladding, Junctions and Sealant

Modern Bassaleg and Rogerstone builds use rainscreen panels, render and complicated junctions rather than plain slate, and they fail at the joints: perished sealant, open cladding gaps, weak detailing where a flat porch or dormer meets the main wall. Those junctions photograph well from above and poorly from anywhere else.

We Are Not Selling You a Roof

There is no repair or installation arm to CalonTerra. If your Rogerstone roof is sound, that is the report you get, at the same fixed fee. If it is not, you get the imagery and the written assessment to take to your developer, your warranty provider, your insurer or a roofer of your own choosing.

Buying or Selling in NP10?

"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 & Solar Audits

If you are claiming for "Storm Event" damage or need a solar installation check, your insurer/builder will demand proof.

  • HD Evidence: 4K photos of fresh damage or solar mounting issues.
  • Date-Stamped Data: Proof for your claim.
  • Independent Validation: Unbiased reports.

Rogerstone Drone Surveys: NP10 Questions

What Rogerstone, Bassaleg, Jubilee Park and Pye Corner residents ask.

My house is still under a builder's warranty. Is a survey worth it?

It is the best possible time to have one. Warranty claims turn on evidence, and a dated, independent set of high-resolution images showing missing clips, poor bedding or badly dressed lead is much harder to dismiss than a phone call. Do it before the cover period ends.

Can you inspect my solar panels without removing them?

Yes. We survey the array in place: mounting rails, brackets, cable runs, the tiles immediately around it and the visible roof surface. A thermal pass can be added to identify cells running hot, which usually points to a fault or a shading problem.

Do you cover Bassaleg, Pye Corner and Fourteen Locks?

Yes, along with Rogerstone itself, Jubilee Park, Tredegar Park and Duffryn. Travel from our Pontypool base is short and is calculated for your exact postcode in the quote form on this page.

Are new estate roads a problem for launching?

No, they are usually easier than a valley terrace. There is normally open ground or a wide verge to launch from, good clearance and fewer obstructions, which means a faster survey and a cleaner set of images.

Can you survey a whole estate or a management company's stock?

Yes. Estate management companies and housing providers across NP10 book several properties per visit, which lowers the cost per property and produces a same-date condition baseline for the entire stock.
