About drone roof surveys in Windsor and Maidenhead
We carry out drone roof surveys in Windsor and Maidenhead and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs, and people most frequently book us about vegetation in valleys and gutters and worn lead at chimneys and walls.
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.

Drones, thermal imaging and roofs across Windsor and Maidenhead
Airspace across Windsor and Maidenhead varies from one address to the next. Every flight is checked first, and the weather has the final say.
Across London and South East England, older homes often have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Each roof in Windsor and Maidenhead is checked with its age and materials in mind.
Maidenhead: Hotels and guest houses near Maidenhead can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. Dorney Court, about 3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Maidenhead. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
How we price drone roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know the exact address when you book
- Check there’s room outside for the drone to take off
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
There is a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
Look at the roof from ground level after strong winds. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Windsor and Maidenhead
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Keep a simple 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.
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Windsor and Maidenhead
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
No, the drone survey is photographic. Thermal imaging is a separate check in the Premium Survey.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
No, the camera is kept on your roof. Neighbouring homes and gardens aren’t the subject, and flights are kept short. It helps to tell neighbours beforehand.
How do I book a survey in Windsor and Maidenhead?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but it cannot see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
