Drone Inspection

At Midlands Sweeps, we provide professional 4K drone chimney inspections to help check the external condition of your chimney stack, chimney pot, cowl, and flaunching safely and efficiently. A drone inspection is a safe and effective way to inspect hard-to-reach chimney areas without the need for ladders or scaffolding in many cases. Using high-quality drone equipment, we capture clear, detailed footage to help identify potential issues before they become more serious or expensive to repair.

4K Drone Chimney Inspections

Our 4K drone chimney inspections allow us to assess visible chimney and roofline areas from above, giving a clear view of parts that are difficult to inspect from ground level. Drone inspections are ideal for checking:

• Chimney stacks
• Chimney pots
• Cowls
• Flaunching
• Roof tiles
• Ridge lines
• Guttering
• Visible signs of weather damage

This makes drone inspections a practical option if you are concerned about chimney damage, roofline issues, or signs of wear after bad weather.

Checking Chimney Flaunching

Drone inspections are especially useful for checking the condition of the flaunching, which is the mortar around the chimney pots. Flaunching helps hold chimney pots securely in place and directs rainwater away from the chimney stack. If the flaunching becomes cracked, loose, or damaged, water may be able to enter the chimney structure. Damaged flaunching can lead to:

• Damp problems
• Internal staining
• Frost damage
• Loose chimney pots
• Water entering the chimney stack
• Further deterioration over time

Chimney Pot and Cowl Inspections

We can also use drone footage to inspect your chimney pot or cowl, checking for signs of damage, poor fitting, movement, weathering, or possible blockages. This can be especially helpful after:

• High winds
• Storms
• Heavy rainfall
• Falling debris
• Signs of poor chimney performance
• Birds attempting to nest
• Damp patches appearing inside the property

A clear visual inspection can help identify whether your chimney pot or cowl needs further attention.

Roof and Guttering Checks

While the drone is in the air, we can also check the visible condition of your roof and guttering. This can help spot external issues that may not be easy to see from ground level, such as:

• Slipped roof tiles
• Broken or cracked tiles
• Damaged ridge lines
• Blocked gutters
• Damaged guttering
• Moss build-up
• General wear and tear

• Cracked or failing flaunching
