Drone roof survey in Ash
We carry out drone roof surveys in Ash and across London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and vegetation in valleys and gutters, on flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and large and complex roofs.
Even in a smaller place like Ash, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Ash
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Ash
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It helps when you plan ahead. In an older home around Ash, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Drone roof surveys around Ash
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
Wanborough Manor lies about 2.7 miles east, so building around Ash goes back a long way. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Take a building like Walsh CofE Junior School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Ash is about 2 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Bookings from Ash are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.
We work across the GU12 and GU10 postcode area for drone roof surveys and the streets around it. That includes homes and businesses on Ash Church Road, Square Field Way and Littlefield Close. Main roads around Ash include the A331 and B3206, so getting to you is simple. Other places close to Ash include Ash Green (1 mile east), Tongham (1 mile south-west), Ash Vale (1 mile north), Seale (2 miles south) and Aldershot (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (6 miles east), Woking (8 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north), Farnham (4 miles south-west), Egham (15 miles north-east) and Frimley (5 miles north).
Near you in Ash
Typical jobs here are in homes near Aldershot Park, The Connaught School and The Dover Arms. The closest station to Ash is Ash station, about 0.5 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Farnham Castle (4 miles south-west) and Ash Museum (under half a mile north-east). For a walk, there is Rowhill Nature Reserve and Hog's Back.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Photograph anything new.
What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Tall and steep roofs
Surveys for landlords and agents in Ash
Landlords, agents and building managers in Ash and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Questions from Ash
Are there drone restrictions around Ash?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Do you cover smaller places like Ash?
Yes. Ash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a survey in Ash, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
