Frimley Drone Roof Survey
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach for Frimley, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roofs on tall buildings are often seen by nobody. A drone shows ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands.
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. We record what we see of their condition.
Drone roof survey in Frimley
Drone roof surveys are available in Frimley and throughout London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Typical surveys look at moss and weeds taking hold up top and wind damage high on the roof, on flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and tall and steep roofs.
In a town like Frimley, the roofs that are hardest to see are often on taller buildings, steep slopes or the backs of terraces. Close-up drone photos and thermal images show what binoculars from the pavement can’t. Each needs the right weather. Rear slopes over back additions are a common example, as they’re rarely visible from the street.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:

- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- A structural engineer’s report

Drones, thermal imaging and Frimley roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St. Peter's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit in Frimley runs most smoothly with the loft hatch clear, side gates open and a parking spot in mind. If you will not be there yourself, let us know who will let us in.
- 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 looked at.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Frimley: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Frimley?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is Frimley in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Frimley as anywhere else.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Frimley
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lakeside Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
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.
More services for Frimley
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
