Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Goosey
Prices start from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip pieces working loose and moss and weeds taking hold up top, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Goosey, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Goosey
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
For any home in Goosey, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

When to book a survey in Goosey
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Before you book anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What exactly goes into their report
- What experience they bring
What we do, step by step
There is not 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. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Goosey, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it’s safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
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. Do not go up yourself.

Questions from Goosey
Will you come out to Goosey?
Yes, Goosey is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goosey?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
What happens if the weather is bad?
High wind or heavy rain stops a flight. The weather on the day decides whether the drone goes up. If we can’t fly, we’ll arrange another day.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. 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.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Goosey
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
