How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a survey in Boyn Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
How a drone roof survey works in Boyn Hill
Drone roof surveys are available in Boyn Hill and throughout London and the South East, 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 photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you are worried about plant growth and moss on the roof and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Even in a smaller place like Boyn Hill, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Boyn Hill
White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Anyone responsible for a site like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

Useful tips for Boyn Hill property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
- Check the loft can be reached
We email the report to you, including the close-up photos taken by the drone. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation, and it is something only an inside check will show. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow.
Common questions in Boyn Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Boyn Hill?
Yes, Boyn Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Are there drone restrictions around Boyn Hill?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
When to book a survey in Boyn Hill
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.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
With Dorney Court about 3.1 miles east, the area around Boyn Hill has a long history. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
Checking the roof from the ground
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. Don’t go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we’re surveying
