About our drone roof survey in Enborne Row
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from the ground. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. We’ll tell you if another approach would work better. We are often asked to look into damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, across large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors.
In a village or hamlet like Enborne Row, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges and hips
Wind lifts loose ridge and hip tiles. Spotting them early stops them falling.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. They’re all captured in close-up, as far as the flight allows.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. For older village homes like those around Enborne Row, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Package prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof
When to book a survey in Enborne Row
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. It’s hard to tell from below what has shifted. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
Stargroves, about 2.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Enborne Row. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Enborne Row can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £400, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Useful tips for Enborne Row property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- Shut pets inside while we fly
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
Airspace, weather and Enborne Row roofs
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
For an older house near a landmark like St Luke Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Enborne C.E. Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common questions in Enborne Row
Will you come out to Enborne Row?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Enborne Row is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long does the visit take?
Typically, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Pre-flight checks of the site and the weather are part of that.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What if my home is 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, which can add time. Allow a little extra time if your home is close to an airport.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, included in our Premium Survey.
Are there drone restrictions in central London?
Central London has restricted areas where NATS permission is needed. Where we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points.
