About our drone roof survey in Good Easter
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. We keep the camera on the roof we are surveying, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it’s worth letting them know about the visit. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and debris building up in hidden gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Good Easter, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Good Easter?
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
Problems we come across often include:
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What they will not be able to tell you

FAQs for Good Easter
Do you cover smaller places like Good Easter?
Yes. Good Easter is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Good Easter?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What if it is windy or raining on the day?
The conditions on the day decide whether a flight goes ahead. Strong wind and heavy rain both rule out flying. If the weather turns, we’ll discuss another date.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
No, the drone survey is photographic. For thermal imaging, look at the Premium Survey or our thermal roof survey, and its findings are checked with moisture readings.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you hold CAA registration for the drone?
Yes. Our registration covers a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Good Easter, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Good Easter book surveys as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Good Easter, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the roof space where it’s safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
