Enham Alamein Drone Roof Survey
Drone roof surveys in Enham Alamein, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Enham Alamein
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. From the ground, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. Close-up drone photos show their condition.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Drone roof survey in Enham Alamein
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Flight restriction zones around airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and London City need permission from the airport or air traffic control. Parts of central London have restricted areas too, where NATS permission is needed. If permission is not given, we inspect by other means and explain why. Prisons have their own drone restriction zones too. We’re frequently asked to look into lead work pulling away at abutments and cracked mortar along the ridge, across large and complex roofs, tall and steep roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Enham Alamein, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
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.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere like Enham Alamein needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- 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
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Questions from Enham Alamein
Is my home in Enham Alamein listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Enham Alamein?
Yes, Enham Alamein is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. It photographs the outside, not the inside. For the underside, we check the loft where it can be reached safely.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
The camera stays on your roof. We inspect only the roof you’ve asked about. A word with next door beforehand is a good idea.
What if my home is near an airport?
Sometimes, with permission. Airports such as Gatwick, Luton and Southampton have flight restriction zones, and a flight inside one needs the airport’s or air traffic control’s say-so. If permission isn’t given, the roof is inspected from other safe viewpoints.
Useful tips for Enham Alamein property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Tell us the exact address when you book
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Move stored items away from the hatch
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photographs are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Drone roof surveys around Enham Alamein
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint George, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
