How a drone roof survey works in Burwood Park
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or is not safe. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. Before the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. If a drone is not the right tool, we will say so. We survey large and complex roofs, fragile roofs and valleys and parapet gutters, and people most frequently book us about hidden gutters full of leaves and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Burwood Park are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Let us know the exact address as you book
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
Ridges and hips
Some ridges are fixed with mortar, others with dry-fix systems. We record what we see of their condition.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Burwood Park frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Drones, thermal imaging and Burwood Park roofs
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. About 1.7 miles south-east lies The Homewood, a reminder of how long the area around Burwood Park has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Take a building like Cleves School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

FAQs for Burwood Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burwood Park?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Burwood Park?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Burwood Park?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- A structural engineer’s report
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
