Drone roof survey in Bepton, West Sussex
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach for Bepton and the rest of West Sussex. We survey seven days a week.
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof

How we price drone roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
We will typically ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Drone roof survey in Bepton
We carry out drone roof surveys in Bepton and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, across large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
Villages like Bepton often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

FAQs for Bepton
Will you come out to Bepton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Bepton is listed?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, in order of urgency where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. We record the signs of age we can see.
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. Their condition is noted in the report.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect, which helps when you ask for quotes. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bepton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Bepton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Drones, thermal imaging and Bepton roofs
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. The wider area around Bepton has a long history of building, with Cowdray House about 2.7 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
