Drone roof inspection in Évreux

Drone roof inspection replaces scaffolding or a cherry picker at a tenth of the cost and with zero human risk. In under an hour of flight, we photograph an entire roof in high resolution: displaced or cracked tiles, missing slates, damaged ridge lines, punctured zinc work, moss, blocked gutters, faulty flashing around chimneys. Optical zoom detects defects invisible from the ground, down to cracks of a few millimetres.

You receive a photographic report organised by zone (slopes, valleys, verges, singular points) with the location of each defect and full-resolution images. This document supports your roofer's quotation, an insurance claim after storm or hail, or a pre-purchase survey. Co-owned buildings, social landlords, churches and listed buildings: we work at any height.

Common use cases

The local context in Évreux

Prefecture of the Eure, an hour from Paris, Évreux is organised around its Notre-Dame cathedral, famed for its 14th- to 16th-century stained glass, its 15th-century belfry and the arms of the Iton river crossing the post-1945 rebuilt centre. The dominant constraint for drone pilots is military: air base 105 Évreux-Fauville, home to tactical transport aircraft (the Franco-German C-130J fleet) and drone squadrons, borders the east of the city with extensive prohibited and restricted zones.

The local economy blends pharmaceuticals (GSK), defence electronics, logistics and administration. The proximity of the industrial Seine valley and tourist Normandy widens the playing field. Common missions: thermography and urban renewal, logistics construction monitoring, heritage, agriculture on the Eure's cereal plateaux — always working around the BA 105 airspace.

Applicable regulations

Roof inspection is flown at low height directly above the building, most often in sub-category A1 with a sub-250 g drone or in A2 with a class C2 drone when sensor resolution demands it. In built-up areas, commercial flights are conducted either in the open category over public space (allowed for professionals since 1 January 2026, no overflight of people, daytime only) or under the STS-01 scenario with a prefectural declaration. The pilot keeps clear of uninvolved persons: the ground area under the drone is secured during the flight. Operator registration on AlphaTango is mandatory, height is in any case far below the 120 m ceiling, and nearby restricted zones (hospital helipads, airfields) are checked on the Géoportail map.

Frequently asked questions

Is the inspection report valid for my insurance?

Yes: the dated, geolocated photographic report is accepted by insurers as evidence after a loss. For adversarial expert value, it can be supplemented by a building surveyor's visit.

Can you inspect a very steep roof or a bell tower?

That is exactly the drone's strength: steep slopes, bell towers, spires and towers are inspected without ropes or scaffolding, with images taken a few metres from the surface thanks to obstacle-avoidance sensors.

How long does a roof inspection take?

For a detached house, 30 to 45 minutes on site is enough. An industrial roof or a co-owned building takes 1 to 3 hours. The report is delivered within 48 hours.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Évreux?

Almost: Zones interdites et réglementées de la base aérienne 105 d'Évreux-Fauville; Trafic militaire basse hauteur (avions tactiques, drones). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
