Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ashmore Green
Drone roof surveys are available in Ashmore Green and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about storm damage on steep or tall roofs and standing water on a flat roof.
Somewhere as small as Ashmore Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Questions from Ashmore Green
Are there drone restrictions around Ashmore Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. 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.
Will you come out to Ashmore Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
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.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Why it is worth a survey now in Ashmore Green
A drone record gives you a baseline. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It helps when you plan ahead. Around Ashmore Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- A written report with photos
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- An independent view of the roof

Surveys for landlords and agents in Ashmore Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Drone roof surveys around Ashmore Green
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
Shaw House, about 2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ashmore Green. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. Take a building like Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

When to book a survey in Ashmore Green
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak, which is why owners turn to a drone.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St. Mark's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a small place like Ashmore Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- We arrange any permission that’s needed before we fly.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
