Egham Wick Drone Roof Survey
Drone roof surveys around Egham Wick, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Egham Wick can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear

How a drone roof survey works in Egham Wick
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Ahead of the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. We’ll tell you if another approach would work better. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and fragile roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are vegetation in valleys and gutters and blocked valleys and parapet gutters.
Villages like Egham Wick often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Common roof problems in Egham Wick
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. A drone can photograph a large roof methodically, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, 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.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Why get it checked now?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. Around Egham Wick, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book us in Egham Wick

Drone roof surveys around Egham Wick
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take a building like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. With Frogmore House about 3.6 miles north, the area around Egham Wick has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

FAQs for Egham Wick
Will you come out to Egham Wick?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Egham Wick listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, and it is part of the Premium Survey.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Can you fly a drone near an airport?
It depends on the airspace at your address. Flying inside a flight restriction zone needs permission from the airport or air traffic control. Book early if you think you may be affected.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Make sure there is room outside for the drone to take off
File the report and photos with your home documents. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys.
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.
