The free drone survey

A traditional inspection means scaffolding, cost and delay. Our CAA-licensed drone reaches every ridge, valley and chimney in minutes and captures detail the eye can't see from the street — so problems are caught early, before they cost you.

What Edinburgh says
Trusted on rooftops across the city.
Real feedback from homeowners and factors across Edinburgh & the Lothians.
★★★★★
Spotted a cracked lead valley on our tenement that three other firms missed. The drone report was crystal clear and the fixed quote didn't budge a penny. Faultless.
★★★★★
Our building is B-listed and I dreaded the paperwork. Castlerock handled the conservation consent and matched the slate perfectly. You'd never know it had been touched.
★★★★★
A storm took slates off overnight and they were out the same day to make it safe. Tidy, polite, and everything explained plainly. Proper Edinburgh tradesmen.
★★★★★
Free survey, honest advice — they actually told us the roof was sound and didn't need the work another firm had quoted for. Earned our trust instantly.
★★★★★
We manage a block of flats and Castlerock are the only roofers we call now. Clear reports for the owners, fixed prices, and the chimney repointing was spotless.
★★★★★
From the first call to the guarantee certificate, everything was easy. Fair price, lovely team, and our Victorian roof is watertight for the first time in years.
