How a drone roof survey works in Eastbury
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We will tell you if a drone isn’t the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’ve noticed ponding and splits on a high flat roof and plant growth and moss on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on chimney stacks, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
In London’s terraces and conversions, roofs are packed close together, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. We take care to focus on the roof we have been asked to look at. Tell us about the building and access when you book. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Eastbury
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Let us know what you want to see
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
Common questions in Eastbury
Is drone flying allowed in Eastbury?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Eastbury?
Sometimes, yes. If Eastbury has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Eastbury?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
What’s in the survey report?
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 applicable and structural analysis.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email.
What else we do in Eastbury
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Eastbury runs like any other.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that’s needed before we fly.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Airspace, weather and Eastbury roofs
Headstone Manor, about 3.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eastbury. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastbury Farm Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. For businesses in and around places such as Harlequin Centre, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera. As a London address, Eastbury can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking.
