Drone roof survey in Farley Green
We carry out drone roof surveys in Farley Green and across London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. If you’ve noticed blocked valleys and parapet gutters and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Farley Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Farley Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Farley Green
Is drone flying allowed in Farley Green?
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.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Farley Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. The report follows by email.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Farley Green?
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Leaves, silt and plant growth build up unseen, until it causes a leak inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
The streets around a church such as St Michael are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
