Drone roof survey in Exton
Drone roof survey starts 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. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We’ll tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you are worried about wind damage high on the roof and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Exton, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Exton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Common roof problems in Exton
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Before booking anyone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Exton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

FAQs for Exton
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Exton?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is my home in Exton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you cover Exton?
Yes, we do. Exton is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Exton?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
The flat roof on top of a block is rarely looked at. From above, standing water, splits and tired upstands are clear.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep slopes are hard to inspect safely on foot. A drone photographs them closely from a safe position, showing slipped, cracked and missing pieces.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the price in Exton
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Roof area
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Booking your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Airspace, weather and Exton roofs
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The wider area around Exton has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
