🏚️ ROOF INSPECTION · NÎMES (30) · €200–650 PER JOB
Drone roof inspection in Nîmes
In Nîmes, westerly winds, summer storms and frost age roofs quickly: an annual aerial inspection documents the roof's condition — tiles, slates or metal sheets — before the leak shows on the ceiling. From Arènes de Nîmes to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Nîmes and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Nîmes' particularity: Nîmes-Garons airport to the south hosts the French civil-security air fleet (Canadair water bombers, Dash aircraft), whose activity intensifies sharply in fire season — its CTR and the bombers' low trajectories demand serious coordination in summer. The dense Roman centre (arena, Maison Carrée) falls under the built-up-area scenario, and the mistral blows hard in the nearby Rhône corridor. Outlets are varied: showcasing exceptional Roman heritage (the arena, the UNESCO-listed Maison Carrée, the Magne tower), real estate and hotels in a gateway city to the Camargue and Cévennes, Costières de Nîmes vineyards, and monitoring of flood-defence works against Cévenol storms, a recurring issue that drones document effectively.

Local regulations: flying in Nîmes
Roof inspections in Nîmes happen at very low height, which remains compatible with the nearby controlled airspace (CTR de Nîmes-Garons (base des avions de la Sécurité civile)) 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 Nîmes: what budget should you plan?
Allow €200–650 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Nîmes, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When should you have your roof inspected in Nîmes?
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.
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.
