FAQs for Crosswater
How do I find out if my home in Crosswater is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Crosswater within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does your drone take thermal images?
The drone gives you detailed photos of the outside of the roof. If you need thermal imaging, it’s part of the Premium Survey.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crosswater
Drones need reasonable weather. High wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. We’re often asked to look into flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and moss and weeds taking hold up top, across flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Crosswater may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like Crosswater, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

Why act early in Crosswater

For an older or listed building in a place like Crosswater, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Drones, thermal imaging and Crosswater roofs
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Farnham Castle about 4.9 miles north, Crosswater sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Crosswater is about 4 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Crosswater can all book drone roof surveys. Across Surrey, we cover Crosswater and the places around it. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Crosswater
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
Take a building like St John's CofE Aided Infant School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether you get a written report with photos
