The coastal climate in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast brings strong winds, heavy rain and salt air — all of which cause roofs to deteriorate faster than inland areas. That’s why drone inspections have become essential for homeowners in FY postcodes.
Why Drone Roof Inspections Are Growing in 2026
Drone technology allows you to see your roof in crystal-clear detail without climbing ladders or paying for expensive scaffolding. It’s the safest and most efficient way to identify issues like:
- Broken or slipped roof tiles
- Blocked gutters
- Lead flashing damage
- Chimney cracks or deterioration
- Flat roof wear
- Storm damage
This is especially important in areas like Blackpool seafront, Fleetwood and Cleveleys, where sea weather accelerates wear and tear.
Benefits of Drone Inspections
- No ladders or roof access required
- High-resolution imagery reveals issues invisible from the ground
- Quicker and cheaper than calling a roofer
- Safe — no one leaves the ground
- Instant digital delivery of all photos/videos
Drone Photography for Property Listings
Homes across Lytham, St Annes, Poulton and Thornton sell faster with professional aerial photography. Drones capture angles that ground photos simply can’t:
- Full garden views
- Roof condition overview
- Neighbourhood and plot layout
- Extensions & outbuildings
This adds impact to property listings and helps your home stand out on platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla.
