Aerial roof surveys in Belfast

Storm damage, a missing slate or a blocked gutter: a drone can inspect the Belfast property from the air and report what it finds, with the images attached.

Drone survey in Belfast: what to know

Belfast contains 1300 Listed Buildings, and their old roofs can be unsafe to walk on. A roof drone survey can capture those coverings from the air. The city also has 13 Conservation Areas. In those areas, work to a roof or chimney may need council approval, and a dated set of images can help with any application.

Local survey notes: Belfast

A short profile of Belfast and what it means for the drone survey flown there.
  • Housing stock. In 2026 Belfast had 163,050 properties, the largest number in Northern Ireland. Belfast's 163,050 properties in 2026 include many terraces, so several adjoining roofs can be captured in one visit and described separately.
  • Listed buildings. Belfast has 1300 Listed Buildings, 16 Scheduled Monuments and 19 registered Historic Parks and Gardens. Belfast's listed roofs can be fragile or steep, so a local specialist captures close images without making contact; note the listing at enquiry.
  • Conservation areas. Belfast currently has 13 Conservation Areas, designated as areas of special architectural or historical interest. Where Belfast's 13 Conservation Areas apply, alterations to roofs or chimneys can require council approval; a dated drone image set helps a planner begin.
  • House prices. The average house price in Belfast is around £185,000. At around £185,000, a Belfast home carries enough value that an unchecked roof can matter to a lender or insurer, so a dated survey answers their questions.
