Drone roof survey in Castle Green: what you get
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. We never fly where it isn’t safe. Common reasons to book are vegetation in valleys and gutters and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, across chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors.
Villages like Castle Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Common roof problems in Castle Green
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
The streets around a church such as Church of St Lawrence are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What affects the price in Castle Green
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Drones, thermal imaging and Castle Green roofs
Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (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 St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Botleys Mansion, about 4.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Castle Green. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Why it is worth a survey now in Castle Green
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Castle Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

FAQs for Castle Green
Do you cover smaller places like Castle Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Castle Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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 near an airport?
Near airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, London City and Stansted, flight restriction zones apply. We check your address and ask for permission where it’s required. If it isn’t given, we inspect by other means.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Castle Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
