Drone roof survey in Goldsworth Park
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. Safety comes first on every visit. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, tall and steep roofs and valleys and parapet gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are chimney tops in poor condition and ponding and splits on a high flat roof.
Around Goldsworth Park, a good many roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. The parts you can’t see, like rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from ground level.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect. Around Goldsworth Park, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
- Make sure there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Goldsworth Park, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- 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.
- 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.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Flying and imaging in Goldsworth Park
Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. Take a building like Goldsworth Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew 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.
Goldsworth Park is about 1 mile west of Woking, in Surrey. We survey roofs in Goldsworth Park as part of our work across London and South East England. Our Surrey coverage includes Goldsworth Park and the places around it.

Goldsworth Park: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goldsworth Park?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are there drone restrictions around Goldsworth Park?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows by email.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
How we price drone roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks often start at outlets, edges and around plant. We photograph them closely.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
