Drone roof survey in Boreham Street
We carry out drone roof surveys in Boreham Street and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, large and complex roofs and fragile roofs, and people most frequently book us about lead work pulling away at abutments and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
In a small place like Boreham Street, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why act early in Boreham Street
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. In a place like Boreham Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
The top of a stack is usually out of view. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a small place like Boreham Street, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Common roof problems in Boreham Street
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
Whether the property is in Boreham Street itself or nearby, the inspection covers whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- What experience they bring

Boreham Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Boreham Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Are there drone restrictions around Boreham Street?
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. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How fast do 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.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Flying and imaging in Boreham Street
Boreham Street lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Around Boreham Street, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
