Drone roof survey in Burchett's Green: what you get
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We will tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are moss and weeds taking hold up top and storm damage on steep or tall roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Burchett's Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why it is worth a survey now in Burchett's Green
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. Close-up photos show what’s really there, slope by slope. It is far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. For older village homes like those around Burchett's Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Rural addresses near Burchett's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Common roof problems in Burchett's Green
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. You cannot see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Faults there can go unnoticed for years, which is why owners turn to a drone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
Anyone responsible for a site like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What experience they bring
- What insurance they carry

Drones, thermal imaging and Burchett's Green roofs
Burchett's Green is about 2 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Harleyford Manor, about 2.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burchett's Green. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint John the Evangelist, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Move stored items away from the hatch
We email the report to you, with close-up photographs from the flight. Each finding is explained in plain words, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, particularly in autumn. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
Common questions in Burchett's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Burchett's Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burchett's Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you fly a drone in central London?
Parts of central London are restricted, including areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs, where flights need permission from NATS. We check the airspace for your address and apply where needed.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
No, the camera is kept on your roof. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible, and flights are kept short. A quick word with the neighbours is a good idea.
