Drone Roof Inspections — North East England

Safe, fast and detailed roof surveys without scaffolding. MGS Drone Surveying provides professional aerial roof inspections for commercial and residential properties across South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, and the wider North East.


The Problem With Traditional Roof Inspections

Roof inspections have traditionally meant scaffolding, access equipment and significant cost — before a single defect has even been identified. That approach is slow, expensive and carries unnecessary risk.

MGS Drone Surveying offers a better way.


What We Do

Using professional-grade drone technology, we carry out detailed aerial roof surveys that capture high-resolution imagery of every surface, ridge, valley, flashing and drainage point — without anyone ever leaving the ground.

Our inspections produce a clear, professional report with annotated imagery that your team or clients can act on immediately.

Real Project Example

OG Gym, East Boldon

OG Gym required an inspection of their large corrugated pitched roof without the disruption and cost of erecting scaffold. MGS Drone Surveying carried out a full aerial survey of the roof, delivering a detailed condition overview that identified the areas currently experiencing leaks as well as the sections most at risk. The client received a clear, image-led report giving them the information needed to plan targeted repairs — without a single person setting foot on the roof.
