Drone roof survey in Englefield Green
Our price is from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, 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 isn’t the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. If you’re worried about debris building up in hidden gutters and worn lead at chimneys and walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Places like Englefield Green can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Useful tips for Englefield Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Photograph anything new.
Airspace, weather and Englefield Green roofs
About 3.2 miles north lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Englefield Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Englefield Green Infant School and Nurseries, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Englefield Green means lost rooms as well as repairs.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Englefield Green
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are often invisible from below. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
Problems we come across often include:
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
Take an older house close to Church of Our Lady of the Assumption: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

What else we do in Englefield Green
What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

- The roof’s overall size
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:

- The property’s address and postcode
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

What we look for on each type of roof
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We don’t test for it, but we flag it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. A drone avoids that, so the survey doesn’t add damage.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Englefield Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
