Drone roof survey in Fulmer, Slough
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fulmer. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How a drone roof survey works in Fulmer
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. If a drone is not the right tool, we will say so. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Some older homes in villages like Fulmer are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Fulmer
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Fulmer?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Fulmer is about 3 miles from Denham Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Will you come out to Fulmer?
Yes, Fulmer is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when you book.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Fulmer needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Drone roof surveys in Fulmer: local notes
Fulmer is about 3 miles from Denham Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Take an older house close to Church of St James: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Pavilions, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take a building like Fulmer Infant School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely.

The top of a stack is usually out of view. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
