How a drone roof survey works in Amport
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that can’t be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a photo-illustrated written report. It is also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. If we can’t fly, we tell you why. We survey large and complex roofs, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about lead work pulling away at abutments and blocked valleys and parapet gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Amport may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. In a place like Amport, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up, and it is something only an inside check will show. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Amport
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Common roof problems in Amport
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amport Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What exactly goes into their report
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Amport, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Questions from Amport
Do you cover smaller places like Amport?
Yes. Amport is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Amport?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What if my home is near an airport?
Near airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, London City and Stansted, flight restriction zones apply. We check your address and ask for permission where it is required. If we cannot fly, we use other safe vantage points.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. Our drone weighs under 250g and follow the drone code.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Do drone rules differ in central London?
It depends where in central London. Restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs need NATS permission before a flight. We check each address first, and fall back on other viewpoints if we cannot fly.
