About our drone roof survey in Goodworth Clatford
We carry out drone roof surveys in Goodworth Clatford and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us. Typical surveys look at blistered or cracked flat roof coverings and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, on valleys and parapet gutters, fragile roofs and tall and steep roofs.
In a small place like Goodworth Clatford, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

FAQs for Goodworth Clatford
Do you cover smaller places like Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Goodworth Clatford is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. It shows what’s on the outside. The underside tells us things the drone can’t, so we inspect the loft space as well where access is safe.
Does the weather affect a drone survey?
Strong wind or a downpour stops a flight. Whether we can fly depends on the conditions on the day. If it’s unsuitable, we will agree another date.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
Our drone takes close-up photos of the roof. Thermal imaging is carried out separately, included in our Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

Flying and imaging in Goodworth Clatford
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. 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.
Take a building like Clatford Church of England Primary School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

- Close-up photos of next door’s property

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates frequently point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. Their condition is noted in the report.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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. Don’t go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Goodworth Clatford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Goodworth Clatford
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It helps when you plan ahead. In a place like Goodworth Clatford, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
