Drone roof survey in Feltham
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are eroded pointing on a chimney stack and slipped or missing slates on a high roof.
Many London roofs are hidden from the pavement: butterfly roofs behind parapets, dormer tops and flat roofs over back additions. That’s where a view from the air or a thermal camera helps, by showing what cannot be reached safely. The weather decides the day: both drones and thermal cameras need the right conditions. Thermal images show surface temperature, not water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What affects the price in Feltham
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Useful tips for Feltham property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.

If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.

Airspace, weather and Feltham roofs
The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport comes within about 1 mile of Feltham. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. 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.
If you run a business near Treaty Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take a building like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. Strawberry Hill House, about 3.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Feltham. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
Feltham is about 6 miles south-west of Ealing, in Greater London. Whether the building in Feltham is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Greater London coverage includes Feltham. You can also see our page for London.

Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Common questions in Feltham
Is my home in Feltham listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Feltham?
Parking in Feltham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on neighbouring gardens or windows. We inspect only the roof you’ve asked about. A word with next door beforehand is a good idea.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. It sees only the outer surfaces. The underside tells us things the drone cannot, so we check the loft too where we can.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In Feltham, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
