🏚️ ROOF INSPECTION · MONTPELLIER (34) · €200–650 PER JOB
Drone roof inspection in Montpellier
Winter winds, summer storms: roofs in Montpellier take the hits, and the damage rarely shows from the street. Ten minutes of flight inspect a house; half a day, an apartment block — no scaffolding, no lift. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Montpellier and its department (34) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Demographically the fastest-growing of France's big cities, Montpellier consumes plenty of aerial imagery: housing programmes in the Port Marianne and Cambacérès districts, health-cluster campuses and clinics, Languedoc vineyards on the immediate outskirts, and tourism from the historic follies to the Palavas beaches — ideal ground for photography and inspection alike. The Montpellier-Méditerranée (Fréjorgues) CTR covers the south-east of the conurbation down to the coast, and the Lapeyronie hospital helipad generates frequent medical rotations: local coordination is essential.

Airspace and formalities in Montpellier
Roof inspections in Montpellier happen at very low height, which remains compatible with the nearby controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport Montpellier-Méditerranée) 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 Montpellier: what budget should you plan?
Allow €200–650 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Montpellier, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When should you have your roof inspected in Montpellier?
After every high-wind or hail event, before buying a property, and ideally once a year in spring. The Occitanie climate wears tiles, slates and flashings differently: the photo report locates each defect on the roof and prioritises repairs.
Is the inspection report valid for my insurance?
Yes: the dated, geolocated photographic report is accepted by insurers as evidence after a loss. For adversarial expert value, it can be supplemented by a building surveyor's visit.
