How a drone roof survey works in Furner's Green
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone will not help on your roof, we will say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. If you’re worried about ridge pieces that have lifted and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and valleys and parapet gutters alike.
Villages like Furner's Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we are asked to look at in Furner's Green
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are often invisible from below. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
If you look after a building like Danehill Church of England Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
What to check before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older rural homes like those around Furner's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Roof by roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. A drone avoids that.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
Flying and imaging in Furner's Green
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. Priest House, about 5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Furner's Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of All Saints: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

Questions from Furner's Green
Are there drone restrictions around Furner's Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions 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 Furner's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
