How a drone roof survey works in Enfield Chase
Drone roof surveys are available in Enfield Chase and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are moss and weeds taking hold up top and debris building up in hidden gutters.
Many London roofs are hidden from the pavement: valley gutters behind parapets, dormers and flat-roofed rear additions. Drone photos and thermal images can show parts of a roof that are hard to reach safely. Weather on the day decides whether it goes ahead, in Enfield Chase as anywhere. Thermal images show surface temperature, not water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How we price drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

When to book a survey in Enfield Chase
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. You cannot see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Problems in those places frequently go unseen until they leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Enfield Chase.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Enfield Chase we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey

Advice
What a drone roof survey looks like in Enfield Chase
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If you look after a building such as Chase Side Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Questions from Enfield Chase
How do I find out if my home in Enfield Chase is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Enfield Chase?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. It sees only the outer surfaces. Leaks, damp timbers and condensation often show first from inside, so we inspect the loft space as well where access is safe.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What if my home is near an airport?
That depends on where the roof is. Inside a flight restriction zone, we need permission first, which can add time. Book early if you think you may be affected.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. That helps you put the work in order. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter. It’s almost impossible to see from the ground, but it’s plain to see from the air.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate normally means nail fatigue. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
