Bure Park: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Bure Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is drone flying allowed in Bure Park?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
About our drone roof survey in Bure Park
Drone roof surveys are available in Bure Park and throughout 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. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. If you are worried about moss building up on slopes and in gutters and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Places like Bure Park can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Let us know what you want to see
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
Do you need a drone roof survey in Bure Park?
The top of a stack is the most exposed part of many roofs. From ground level, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. Close-up drone photos show their condition.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you run a business near Bicester Village, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Before booking anyone

- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their report turnaround times
Why get it checked now?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right. Around Bure Park, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Bure Park, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Flying and imaging in Bure Park
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Emmanuel Church Bicester, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a building like Bure Park Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Can I check my roof myself?
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: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
