The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Gosford, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Drone roof survey in Gosford: what you get
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. If you’ve noticed flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and plant growth and moss on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Villages like Gosford 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.
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.

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Gosford
Oxford Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
Anyone responsible for a site like Edward Feild Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. With Holywell Manor about 4.1 miles south, the area around Gosford has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint John the Baptist Hall Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

How we price drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:

- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings

Valleys and parapet gutters
Hidden gutters and valleys sit out of sight. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
