About our drone roof survey in Fulwell
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see under the coverings or into the loft. Where there is safe access, we look in the roof space too, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. If you’ve noticed tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and loose ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In London’s terraces and conversions, roofs are packed close together, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. We take care to focus on the roof we have been asked to look at, in Fulwell as anywhere. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no 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.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. In Fulwell, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Fulwell
The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport comes within about 2 miles of Fulwell. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up.
Take a building like Stanley Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael's, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.

Common questions in Fulwell
How do I find out if my home in Fulwell is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Fulwell?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

How we price drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- 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
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone survey can show what has shifted.
