About our drone roof survey in Aaron's Hill
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Ahead of the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. We will tell you if another approach would work better. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates on a high roof and loose ridge and hip tiles, across valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and large and complex roofs.
Even in a smaller place like Aaron's Hill, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Drone roof surveys around Aaron's Hill
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

What we are asked to look at in Aaron's Hill
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 2.5 miles north-east, show how far back building around Aaron's Hill goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you’ll get the report

FAQs for Aaron's Hill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aaron's Hill?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Aaron's Hill?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you work in Aaron's Hill?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Aaron's Hill, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Make sure there’s room outside for the drone to take off
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. The photos show the location and extent of every problem, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, especially in autumn. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Parking around Aaron's Hill is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. Around Aaron's Hill, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
