Take a building like John Mayne Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Curteis' Corner
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. Common reasons to book are blistered or cracked flat roof coverings and moss building up on slopes and in gutters, across chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Curteis' Corner may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch 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.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Curteis' Corner questions
How do I find out if my home in Curteis' Corner is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Curteis' Corner?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Is your drone operator registered?
We are. The CAA has issued us a Flyer ID and an Operator ID, and the drone itself is under 250g.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Curteis' Corner, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. Outlets and any debris around them are photographed.
Ridges and hips
The ridge takes wind from both sides. A drone shows cracked mortar and loose ridge tiles.
Do you need a drone roof survey in Curteis' Corner?
Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check the loft can be reached
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
Why get it checked now?
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. A drone survey finds them sooner. Around Curteis' Corner, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
