Drone roof survey in Berrick Salome
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about vegetation in valleys and gutters and debris building up in hidden gutters.
Somewhere as small as Berrick Salome, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Why get it checked now?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect. Around Berrick Salome, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why us?
- Every finding written up with photos
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- 20+ years’ experience
- An independent view of the roof

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Berrick Salome, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack

What we look for on each type of roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. The drone sees them without touching them.
Valleys and parapet gutters
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter. It is almost impossible to see from the ground, but it’s plain to see from the air.
Berrick Salome questions
Are there drone restrictions around Berrick Salome?

Is Berrick Salome within the area you cover?
Yes, Berrick Salome is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.

Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant.
