Drone roof survey in Berghers Hill
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it can’t see inside. We check the loft from inside where it’s safe, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. If you’ve noticed ponding and splits on a high flat roof and moss building up on slopes and in gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Berghers Hill, open ground can mean strong wind. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let us know the exact address as you book
- Make sure there’s room outside for the drone to take off
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Check insulation does not block the airflow.
Airspace, weather and Berghers Hill roofs
About 1.7 miles south lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Berghers Hill has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
If you look after a building like Wooburn Green Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Paul, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Berghers Hill
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Berghers Hill?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How do I find out if my home in Berghers Hill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
