Using drones to help us keep properties well-maintained 

The assistance of drones offers a modern, efficient, and cost-effective way to conduct roof surveys as part of our surveying programme. By improving safety, accuracy, and speed, while enabling proactive maintenance, drones are helping to transform our understanding of the condition of roofs on our flats.

Our stock condition survey checks the main parts of your home, like windows, doors, kitchen and bathroom.

These surveys help us keep your property safe and free from hazards like damp and mould.

Thanks to past surveys, we can plan upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, windows, doors, roofs, boilers, and electrics, making sure homes meet the Government’s Decent Homes Standard. 

We’ll start a new round of surveys in the next few months and when it’s time, we’ll contact you to arrange an appointment. The survey takes about 30-40 minutes and will need to look inside and outside your property. We may take some photos or video footage.
