Why act early in Bepton Common
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. You get photos of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bepton Common, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bepton Common
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. Where there’s safe access, we look in the roof space too, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there is no safe loft access, the report says so. Common reasons to book are outlets choked with leaves and silt and loose ridge and hip tiles, across large and complex roofs, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks.
Some older homes in villages like Bepton Common are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Bepton Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bepton Common?
Yes. Bepton Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bepton Common?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We hold both a CAA Flyer ID and an Operator ID. The drone we use weighs under 250g, flown within the rules for the open category.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is carried out separately, included in our Premium Survey.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
We take care around neighbouring homes. We photograph your roof, not your neighbours’ property. It is worth telling neighbours about the flight.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. It sees only the outer surfaces. The underside tells us things the drone cannot, so we inspect the roof space as well where access is safe.

- A flight on a day when the weather isn’t safe

Roof by roof

Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep roofs are risky to walk on. A drone photographs them closely from a safe position.
