Anglefield Corner Drone Roof Survey
Independent drone roof surveys in Anglefield Corner. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How a drone roof survey works in Anglefield Corner
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. Common reasons to book are coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and plant growth and moss on the roof, on chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Anglefield Corner, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we look at

- Fragile roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors

What we look for on each type of roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. The drone sees them without touching them.
Ridges and hips
Some ridges are fixed with mortar, others with dry-fix systems. We record what we see of their condition.
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Anglefield Corner
Is Anglefield Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, Anglefield Corner is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Anglefield Corner?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is carried out separately, included in our Premium Survey.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it usually takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
Drone roof surveys around Anglefield Corner
The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Anglefield Corner. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evanglist: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Around Anglefield Corner, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.

Why act early in Anglefield Corner
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It is useful for planning maintenance over the years. In a place like Anglefield Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
