What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Drone roof survey in Grayshott: what you get
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on, like old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Ahead of the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. We will tell you if another approach would work better. Common reasons to book are blocked valleys and parapet gutters and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, across fragile roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters.
Places like Grayshott can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a survey in Grayshott, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.

What else we do in Grayshott
Drone roof surveys around Grayshott
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. 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.
If you look after a building such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Grayshott is about 7 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Grayshott is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and the South East. Our Surrey coverage includes Grayshott and the places around it. You can also see our page for Guildford.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Grayshott
How do I find out if my home in Grayshott is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is drone flying allowed in Grayshott?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
How do I book a survey in Grayshott?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Grayshott. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
For a price for your roof in Grayshott, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. They show the location and extent of each defect. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Grayshott, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
