Drone roof inspection in Bordeaux

Free quote — roof inspection in Bordeaux

In Bordeaux, moisture from the Garonne and Nouvelle-Aquitaine winters wear down roofs in the old centre and on suburban houses alike: the drone spots moss, cracked tiles and blocked gutters in a twenty-minute flight. In Bordeaux as across the department (33), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

The Bordeaux-Mérignac CTR, shared with air base 106, covers the west of the conurbation: urban flights require coordination with both civil and military aviation. Sensitive sites abound — the Dassault plant and Mérignac aerospace zone, the Bacalan submarine base, the Aquitaine bridge — and the UNESCO-listed quaysides fall under the built-up-area scenario. The Gironde metropolis is a complete market: booming real estate around Euratlantique and the Bassins à flot, prestigious wine estates (Médoc, Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Émilion) that are heavy users of vineyard mapping and monitoring, river tourism on the Garonne, and structural inspections from the Chaban-Delmas bridge to the Cité du Vin.

Rates

€200–650 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Bordeaux.

The airspace context in Bordeaux

Roof inspections in Bordeaux happen at very low height, which remains compatible with the nearby controlled airspace (CTR de Bordeaux-Mérignac (aéroport et base aérienne 106)) 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 Bordeaux: what budget should you plan?

Allow €200–650 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bordeaux, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

When should you have your roof inspected in Bordeaux?

After every high-wind or hail event, before buying a property, and ideally once a year in spring. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine climate wears tiles, slates and flashings differently: the photo report locates each defect on the roof and prioritises repairs.

How long does a roof inspection take?

For a detached house, 30 to 45 minutes on site is enough. An industrial roof or a co-owned building takes 1 to 3 hours. The report is delivered within 48 hours.
