繁體中文Roofs and elevated areas
Roof coverings, flashings, drainage points, parapets, plant areas, penetrations and difficult-to-access details.
Roofs, façades and hard-to-reach areas
Building Inspections
Clear visual evidence from roofs, façades and hard-to-reach areas.
High-resolution aerial inspection and structured reporting to support condition assessment, maintenance planning and MBIS/MWIS workflows.
Inspect difficult areas with less disruption.
Building exteriors can be costly, disruptive or unsafe to access. Lamorna provides targeted aerial capture of roofs, façades and elevated areas, helping clients identify visible concerns, plan further investigation and create a clear condition record.
- Reduced reliance on preliminary scaffolding or rope access
- Rapid coverage of roofs and façades
- Minimal disruption to occupants and operations
- High-resolution imagery linked to location and context
What we inspect
External walls and finishes
Cracking, concrete spalling, exposed or corroding reinforcement, staining, debonded finishes, loose tiles, defective render and other visible deterioration.
Windows and openings
Frames, glazing, perimeter sealant, window heads, jambs, sills, reveals and visible indicators of localised water ingress.
Projections and attachments
Canopies, balconies, ledges, architectural features, signboards, fixtures and external services.
Drainage and moisture indicators
Blocked or damaged drainage components, staining, efflorescence, damp patterns and visible routes of potential water entry.
Specific defects and areas of concern
Targeted high-resolution capture of known or suspected defects for closer review, defect identification and reporting.
Thermal screening for potential water ingress
Radiometric thermal imagery can reveal surface-temperature patterns associated with retained moisture, defective seals, water pathways and areas of abnormal heat transfer that may not be apparent in standard RGB imagery. When reviewed alongside visible condition evidence and site information, thermal capture can help identify areas requiring closer investigation.
Thermal patterns indicate areas of potential concern. Confirmation of the moisture source may require further investigation or testing by the relevant building professional.
Inspection reporting that supports the wider project
MBIS and MWIS support
Structured inspection findings, annotated imagery and clearly referenced defect locations provide Registered Inspectors, Qualified Persons and property teams with valuable evidence for their wider assessment and reporting workflows. Targeted aerial inspection can reduce time, disruption and reliance on preliminary access systems while helping professionals focus follow-up attention where it is most valuable.
Pre-works assessment and quotation support
Detailed condition reporting can give contractors a clearer understanding of visible defects, access constraints and the likely extent of work before mobilisation. This can support more accurate quotations, reduce unnecessary preliminary access and limit the need to place personnel at height simply to establish the initial scope.
Post-works documentation
Repeat capture can document completed repairs, compare treated areas with the pre-works condition and provide a clear dated record for clients, contractors and project professionals.
Façade overview with clearly located areas of concern Supporting MBIS and MWIS workflows
Targeted façade and window imagery, clearly referenced defect identification and structured reporting can support the Registered Inspector or Qualified Person within the wider statutory inspection process.
- High-resolution façade and window imagery
- Visible defect identification and classification
- Annotated locations and areas of concern
- Overview and detail images linked by location
- Access to elevated and difficult-to-view areas
- Structured reporting for professional review
- Evidence supporting repair planning and follow-up inspection
- Reduced reliance on preliminary scaffolding or personnel working at height
Lamorna provides aerial data capture and visual documentation as part of the wider inspection process. Statutory assessment and professional judgement remain with the relevant qualified and appointed professionals.
Clear evidence. Structured reporting.
The value of an inspection lies in understanding what was observed, where it was located and what requires further review.
- High-resolution roof and façade imagery
- Clearly referenced areas of interest
- Annotated observations where agreed
- Elevation and location context
- Structured inspection report with annotated findings
- Recommended areas for follow-up review
A clear inspection workflow.
Plan the inspection
Define the building areas, known concerns, site constraints and reporting requirements, then complete the required operational and risk-planning process.
Capture the right evidence
Collect systematic overview and detailed imagery—together with thermal data where required—covering the agreed roofs, façades, windows and elevated areas.
Analyse and report
Review the captured evidence, identify and reference visible defects or areas of concern, and present the results in a clear, structured inspection report.
Discuss your building inspection requirement.
Tell us the property, location and purpose. We will recommend an appropriate capture and reporting approach.
