How a drone roof survey works in Cooper's Green
Drone roof surveys are available in Cooper's Green and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. 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, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we are asked to look at most are lifted or split lead flashings and blistered or cracked flat roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Cooper's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Flying and imaging in Cooper's Green
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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take a building like Bonners CofE School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

FAQs for Cooper's Green
Will you come out to Cooper's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Cooper's Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
What affects the price in Cooper's Green
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Cooper's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Places near Cooper's Green
What else we do in Cooper's Green
Do you need a drone roof survey in Cooper's Green?
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Older slates and tiles break easily, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
If you live in an older home near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
Leave it or get it looked at?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
