How much does a drone roof survey cost in the Channel Islands?

A drone roof survey is almost always cheaper, faster and safer than getting someone onto your roof the old way — without the cost or risks of working at height. Here's exactly what it costs with Capture — and how it compares to scaffolding and traditional access.

The comparison

Drone vs scaffolding vs traditional access

Drone survey (Capture)	from £249	~1 hour	No	Yes
Scaffold + roofer inspection	£800–£2,000+	Days (erect/strike)	Yes	Rarely

"Free" roofer look	£0 (then a quote)	Varies	Yes	No

Why it works out cheaper

No scaffold. No day-rates. No conflict of interest.

There's no scaffold to hire, no access equipment, no traffic management and no labour standing around. You also avoid the biggest hidden cost of the old way: a contractor quoting for the repair has every incentive to find work. An independent survey gives you the facts first — so you only pay for repairs you actually need.

What affects the price: roof size and complexity, number of buildings, whether you need the full written report, and site access (we're CAA-licensed and handle all airspace permissions).
