How a drone roof survey works in George Green
Our price is 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. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you are worried about flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like George Green, open ground can mean strong wind. High 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates frequently point to corroded nails. We can see the extent of it from above.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Hidden gutters and valleys sit out of sight. From above, we can see the linings, the joints and any debris.
Airspace, weather and George Green roofs
Historic houses like Windsor Castle, about 3.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around George Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wexham Court Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older roofs in small places like George Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- 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.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Poor airflow lets condensation build up, and it is something only an inside check will show. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow.
What happens if roof problems are left?
From ground level, you are guessing about most of a tall roof. Close-up photos show what’s really there, slope by slope. It is far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. Around George Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Do you need a drone roof survey in George Green?
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Lifted or split lead flashings
Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in George Green
Will you come out to George Green?
Yes, George Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in George Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
