Drone roof survey in Binley: what you get
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a photo-illustrated written report. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. Typical surveys look at lifted or split lead flashings and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Binley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. 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, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere as small as Binley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- 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 we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

What this survey can’t tell you
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
- Chimney stacks
Leave it or get it looked at?
Photographing a roof from the air doesn’t touch it. Nothing is cracked or dislodged by footsteps, so the survey does not create new problems. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Binley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

FAQs for Binley
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Binley?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Will you come out to Binley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What we look for on each type of roof
Large commercial roofs
Large commercial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the roof area by area.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks often start at outlets, edges and around plant. We photograph them closely.
