Drone roof surveys around Green Cross
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Take a building like St John's CofE Aided Infant School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Drone roof survey in Green Cross: what you get
We carry out drone roof surveys in Green Cross and across London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on any day of the week. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. Typical surveys look at slates or tiles shifted by high winds and moss and weeds taking hold up top, on flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Green Cross are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why it is worth a survey now in Green Cross
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. A drone survey finds them sooner. Around Green Cross, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us

What this survey can’t tell you

- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Green Cross questions
Do you cover smaller places like Green Cross?
Yes, Green Cross is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is drone flying allowed in Green Cross?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Green Cross?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older roofs in small places like Green Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:

Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
