Drone roof survey in Goose Green: what you get
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an 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. We never fly where it is not safe. If you’ve noticed blistered or cracked flat roof coverings and moss and weeds taking hold up top, we can find out what’s behind it.
Villages like Goose Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
Common questions in Goose Green
How do I find out if my home in Goose Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long does the visit take?
Allow between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will give you an idea of timing when you book.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Goose Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Leave it or get it looked at?
A drone record gives you a baseline. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It helps when you plan ahead. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Goose Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Goose Green
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Flying and imaging in Goose Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
Anyone responsible for a site like Westfield Community Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For any home in Goose Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
