How a drone roof survey works in Easton
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We will tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’re worried about wind damage high on the roof and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on fragile roofs, tall and steep roofs and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
Some older homes in villages like Easton are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is 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 report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Easton
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our drone check of a chimney is visual, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We will say if a specialist is needed.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. A drone avoids that, so the survey does not add damage.
Drone roof surveys in Easton: local notes
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The wider area around Easton has a long history of building, with Benham Park about 3.1 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Gregory, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What’s near Easton

Nearby you’ll also find Hamstead Marshall 3 (3.2 miles south) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (5.5 miles south-east). The countryside around Easton includes Sole Common Pond.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Landlords and agents in Easton book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Easton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. In a place like Easton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Check the loft can be reached
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Questions from Easton
How do I find out if my home in Easton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I book a survey in Easton?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Does the drone show the underside of the roof?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but not the loft or the underside. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring gardens or windows. We inspect only the roof you’ve asked about. If your roof is shared, it is useful to tell your neighbours about the visit.
