What happens if roof problems are left?
A drone record gives you a baseline. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It helps when you plan ahead. Around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, gutters that overflow soak the wall below. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Left alone, both only get worse.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we are a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. If you’ve noticed loose ridge and hip tiles and wind damage high on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
In older houses around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, loft insulation can be thin, patchy or missing in places. Thermal imaging can show where heat escapes, and it can also point to damp patches. It shows temperature, so anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter, while drone photos show the outside of the same roof. Results depend on conditions, so the timing of the visit matters.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Yes, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Make sure the loft can be reached
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
DIY checks: what’s safe
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A typical visit in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen, so unlocked gates help. The loft comes next, where there’s safe access.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Drone roof surveys in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: local notes
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Bletchley Park, about 0.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you run a business near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. If you look after a building like Knowles Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Water Eaton Church Centre, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
