For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Drone roof survey in Goose Green: what you get
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. High wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we will agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast before the visit and again on site. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. Typical surveys look at eroded pointing on a chimney stack and outlets choked with leaves and silt, on flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and large and complex roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Goose Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- A structural engineer’s report
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Airspace, weather and Goose Green roofs
Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a building like Rydon Community College, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Parham House lies about 4.5 miles south-west, so building around Goose Green goes back a long way. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Goose Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Goose Green?
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Problems in those places frequently go unseen until they leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Take photos of any changes.
