Drone roof surveys in Easebourne and the rest of West Sussex. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Easebourne and across West Sussex can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Drone roof survey in Easebourne
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Flight restriction zones around airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and London City need permission from the airport or air traffic control. Parts of central London have restricted areas too, where NATS permission is needed. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and tell you. Prisons have their own drone restriction zones too. Common reasons to book are vegetation in valleys and gutters and cracked mortar along the ridge, across valleys and parapet gutters, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs.
Somewhere as small as Easebourne, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Airspace, weather and Easebourne roofs
Within a mile and a half or so of Easebourne there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Cowdray House lies about 0.6 miles south, so building around Easebourne goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. Take a building like Easebourne CofE Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Easebourne is about 9 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We carry out drone roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Easebourne and nearby. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex. Guildford is in our area too.

Easebourne: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Easebourne?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Easebourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. It shows what’s on the outside. The underside tells us things the drone cannot, so we inspect the roof space as well where access is safe.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Easebourne needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
How we price drone roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
When to book a survey in Easebourne
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What insurance they carry
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Leave it or get it looked at?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is. In a place like Easebourne, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
For a price for your roof in Easebourne, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
