Schedule of Condition

Our client, sharing a wall with a neighbor undergoing a loft conversion, utilized Vidda's drone survey to document their roof condition before and after the construction. Minor damage occurred to our client's roof during the works, confirmed and resolved through post-construction imagery. Replacement tiles of a different color were identified, aiding an amicable resolution between neighbors based on the evidence provided.
