About our drone roof survey in Enfield Wash
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. We never fly where it isn’t safe. If you’re worried about eroded pointing on a chimney stack and storm damage on steep or tall roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around Enfield Wash may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
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 example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
A drone survey disturbs nothing on the roof. Nothing is cracked or dislodged by footsteps, so the survey does not create new problems. Arranging work in a smaller place like Enfield Wash is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- PI and public liability insurance

How we price drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up, and it’s something only an inside check will show. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
What we are asked to look at in Enfield Wash
Many roofs are never seen properly from the ground. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Faults there can go unnoticed for years, which is why owners turn to a drone.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
For businesses in and around places like Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Before booking anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What insurance they carry
- How soon the report will arrive
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Enfield Wash, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- 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 sub-250g drone takes close-up photos 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
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price

Advice
Flying and imaging in Enfield Wash
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Forty Hall, about 1.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Enfield Wash. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastfield Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St George's Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
