About our drone roof survey in Brook Green

Drone roof surveys are available in Brook Green and throughout London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. We fly seven days a week. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates on a high roof and hidden gutters full of leaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.

In London’s terraces and conversions, roofs are packed close together, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. We take care to focus on the roof we have been asked to look at. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when booking. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Brook Green

If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.

Landlords and agents in Brook Green book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.

Practical tips

Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:

  • Let us know about any leaks or concerns
  • Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
  • A word with neighbours beforehand helps
  • Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone

Keep the photos with your property records. They give you something to compare against later.

After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone can show exactly what has moved.

Drones, thermal imaging and Brook Green roofs

Brook Green is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Historic houses such as Kelmscott House, about 0.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Brook Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

If you look after a building such as Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Hotels and guest houses near Brook Green cannot easily close rooms for a leak. Parking in Brook Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door can’t be promised.

Brook Green is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London. We carry out drone roof surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Brook Green and the surrounding area. Brook Green is one of the places in Greater London where we work.

Why get it checked now?

Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photographs. It’s far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. In Brook Green, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

What you get with us

Checking the roof from the ground

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.

After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Brook Green questions

Can you fly a drone over a roof in Brook Green?

It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. The flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea comes within about 1 mile of Brook Green. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brook Green?

It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

How long will you be at the property?

Expect it to take an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will then get the report by email.

Will I get photos?

Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.

How much does a drone roof survey cost in Brook Green?

Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.

What if it rains on the day?

Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.

How the survey works

A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a London area like Brook Green, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.

  1. First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
  2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
  3. We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
  4. We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
  5. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets in another room
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

How to book

Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

How the survey changes by roof type

Flat roofs on tall buildings

The flat roof on top of a block is rarely looked at. A drone shows ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands.

Chimney stacks

Leaning stacks and loose pots are easier to judge from above. We record what we find with photos.
