Canvas roof before and after drone cleaning

Drone roof cleaning

A safe, efficient solution for cleaning roofs of every type and size

Drone roof cleaning is a safe, efficient way to keep a roof in good condition over time. Aquadrone's roof and solar cleaning service covers roofs of every type: tiled roofs, flat roofs, canvas roofs and metal roofs. Cleaning is carried out with no scaffolding and no risk to workers.

A dirty roof isn't just a cosmetic problem. Moss, dirt and bird droppings that build up on a roof cause real damage over time. They block drainage, damage roofing materials and shorten the life of the roof. Regular cleaning prevents costly damage and extends the roof's life.

What builds up on a roof, and why is it a problem?

Roofs collect dirt from several sources. Leaves and dust gather in corners and low points. Bird droppings contain acid that damages roofing materials. Moss and plants work their way into the roof layers and cause leaks. Oil and industrial pollutants build up on urban roofs. Together these create a significant problem that needs professional treatment.

Drone roof cleaning: how does it work?

The drone surveys the roof from above and identifies the areas that need attention. It then cleans precisely with controlled water pressure suited to the type of roof. Cleaning is done in stages, from light dirt to more stubborn deposits. The result is a thoroughly clean roof, ready for the rainy season.

Drone roof cleaning suits every type of roof. Tiled roofs are cleaned gently without breaking tiles. Flat roofs are cleaned thoroughly, including corners and drainpipes. Canvas roofs are cleaned at an adjusted pressure that doesn't damage the material. Metal roofs are cleaned of rust and dirt with specialist cleaning agents.

It's important to clean a roof at least once a year, ideally before the rainy season. Routine cleaning prevents blocked drainage, extends the life of the roof and helps avoid costly leaks. The Aquadrone team also provides a detailed condition report after cleaning, with recommendations for future maintenance.

Our team is also available for professional advice on how often each type of roof should be cleaned, based on your location and local weather conditions.
