Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fields End
We carry out drone roof surveys in Fields End and across London and the South East, subject to airspace checks and the weather. 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 ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey chimney stacks, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and ridge pieces that have lifted.
In a small place like Fields End, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Fields End
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older rural homes like those around Fields End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What a drone roof survey looks like in Fields End
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
Anyone responsible for a site like John F Kennedy Catholic School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Fields End
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
Take an older house close to St Alban's Church: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Shut pets inside while we fly
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photographs and findings. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside frequently shows problems before the outside does. Take photos of any changes.
FAQs for Fields End
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fields End?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Fields End?
Yes, Fields End is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
We point the camera at your roof only. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible, and flights are kept short. A quick word with the neighbours is a good idea.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Fields End
Photographing a roof from the air does not touch it. Nothing is cracked or dislodged by footsteps, so the survey doesn’t create new problems. Around Fields End, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
