🏚️ ROOF INSPECTION · ANTIBES (06) · €200–650 PER JOB
Drone roof inspection in Antibes
Salt, wind and spray: near the Mediterranean, roofs in Antibes age faster — corroded flashing, weakened fixings, tiles shifted after every gale. Drone inspection documents this damage without scaffolding. With 71,708 inhabitants, Antibes generates steady demand in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
Antibes-Juan-les-Pins lines up superb subjects: the ramparts of old Antibes dropping into the sea, Fort Carré, Port Vauban — Europe's largest marina with its billionaires' quay — and Cap d'Antibes fringed with villas. The main constraint is aeronautical: the city is squeezed between the Nice-Côte d'Azur CTR to the east and the Cannes-Mandelieu CTR to the west, capping or forbidding flights depending on the sector; a careful check of the Géoportail drone map is essential. The economic fabric is dense: yachting and refit at Port Vauban, hotels, prestige real estate, and the Sophia Antipolis technology park at the city gates, home to tech companies keen on aerial imagery and digital twins of their campuses.

The airspace context in Antibes
Roof inspections in Antibes happen at very low height, which remains compatible with the nearby controlled airspace (CTR de Nice-Côte d'Azur à l'est) under the right protocol: the extra lead time is days, not weeks.
Roof inspection is flown in the open category directly above the inspected building, below 50 m; in dense urban areas a specific-category declaration covers flight near third parties. Full regulations and rates: roof inspection across France →

Frequently asked questions
Roof inspection in Antibes: what budget should you plan?
Allow €200–650 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Antibes, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When should you have your roof inspected in Antibes?
After every high-wind or hail event, before buying a property, and ideally once a year in spring. The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur climate wears tiles, slates and flashings differently: the photo report locates each defect on the roof and prioritises repairs.
Can you inspect a very steep roof or a bell tower?
That is exactly the drone's strength: steep slopes, bell towers, spires and towers are inspected without ropes or scaffolding, with images taken a few metres from the surface thanks to obstacle-avoidance sensors.
