What We Inspect & Capture
Water ingress is the single most frequent cause of commercial building fabric damage. EntireFM roof drone surveys inspect every square metre of your roof deck, identifying failed waterproofing membranes, standing water, blocked downpipes, and perished flashings before internal leaks occur.
Single-Ply & Felt Membrane Audits
Close visual detection of blistering, tears, seam delamination, punctures, and standing water ponding.
Valley Gutters & Downpipes
Inspection of silt buildup, vegetation growth, joint separation, and corrosion along high-capacity commercial gutters.
Parapets, Flashings & Copings
Detailed examination of lead dressings, expansion joints, coping mortar degradation, and perimeter upstands.
Roof Penetrations & Skylights
Auditing seals around HVAC duct penetrations, soil vent pipes, rooflights, safety eye bolts, and plant plinths.
Typical Facilities Management Applications
Real-world operational use cases where aerial drone surveys deliver maximum safety and commercial efficiency.
Commercial Flat Roofs
Single-ply, bituminous felt, mastic asphalt, and liquid-applied membrane condition surveys.
High-Capacity Box Gutters
Inspecting internal valleys, parapet gutters, and downpipe sumps for silt, rust, and blockages.
Fragile Industrial Roofs
Asbestos-cement and profile metal sheet audits conducted without walking fragile roofs.
Post-Storm Leak Tracing
Rapid emergency surveys locating water ingress pathways following heavy rainfall.
What We Look For
Common structural defects, waterproofing failures, and performance anomalies isolated during survey analysis.
Membrane Lap Seam Failure
Visual Indicator: Delamination, fish-mouthing, and capillary water draw beneath seams
Valley Gutter Siltation & Vegetation
Visual Indicator: Standing water surcharge, weed growth, and corrosion around outlets
Compromised Penetration Flashings
Visual Indicator: Split lead boots around HVAC conduits and perished rooflight seals

What happens if we
find a problem?
EntireFM operates full in-house commercial roofing and drainage capabilities. If our drone discovers blocked box gutters, split lead flashings, or membrane punctures, our mobile roofing teams can be dispatched immediately to clean, patch, and re-waterproof the building.
One Accountable Partner: We move seamlessly from inspection to investigation, quotation, specialist access, physical repair, and CAFM verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries regarding contract scopes, SLAs, compliance audits, and onboarding.
Yes. Drones eliminate the severe health and safety risks of walking on fragile asbestos-cement sheets, brittle skylights, or aged corrugated metal. High-resolution zoom cameras and radiometric thermal payloads can pinpoint ponding water, compromised flashings, and saturated insulation without foot traffic.
