How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges and hips
Ridges and hips are the most exposed parts of a pitched roof. A drone shows cracked mortar and loose ridge tiles.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them, so the survey does not add damage.
How a drone roof survey works in Ewhurst Green
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Near protected airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Parts of central London have restricted areas too, where NATS permission is needed. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and explain why. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. If you are worried about hidden gutters full of leaves and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. 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 ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Drone roof surveys around Ewhurst Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common questions in Ewhurst Green
Is drone flying allowed in Ewhurst Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Is my home in Ewhurst Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you cover Ewhurst Green for drone roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs in Ewhurst Green and the rest of Surrey. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Ewhurst Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the loft space where it is safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive

Advice
Why act early in Ewhurst Green
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. A drone survey finds them sooner. For an older or listed building in a place like Ewhurst Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
