Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bunkers Hill
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. We survey chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are wind damage high on the roof and moss building up on slopes and in gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Bunkers Hill are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Bunkers Hill
Is Bunkers Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is drone flying allowed in Bunkers Hill?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Bunkers Hill is about 2 miles from Oxford Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Bunkers Hill?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Roof by roof
Large commercial roofs
Older cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos. We do not test for it, but we flag it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. They’re all captured in close-up, as far as the flight allows.
Why get it checked now?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is. In a small place like Bunkers Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Bunkers Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Airspace, weather and Bunkers Hill roofs
Oxford Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
Anyone responsible for a site like Marlborough School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Blenheim Palace lies about 2.3 miles south-west, so building around Bunkers Hill goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. The streets around a church such as Church of Holy Cross are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Make sure there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Let us know what you want to see
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photos and findings. It is a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
