Roof survey

Went in my loft last week. Saw daylight!
Roofer who did my garage roof had a look via ladders and took still images from all 3 sides of the semi-detached. Did similar when surveying garage flat roof so I could see exactly where damage was. You do need to get up close to see gaps in tiles and damage.
I trained up a roofer who does major roof works in using a drone for surveying. Well I set it up and showed how to use it. He had large field to practice on so left him to it.
Got a call a few weeks later. Trashed his drone by losing contact with it when at close quarters with a chimney or similar.
I setup up a new drone he got and not heard from him since so assume he has been crash free since.
If you haven’t done close up building surveys before then practice is of the essence as it isn’t the same as flying over a ruined castle.
Not a job I would do with any confidence.
Good luck!
