The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Green End, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. 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’.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day

Drone roof survey in Green End
Drones need reasonable weather. We do not fly in high wind or heavy rain, because control and safety come first. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. If you’ve noticed flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and storm damage on steep or tall roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, on tall and steep roofs, chimney stacks and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
Villages like Green End often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. 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.

Green End: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Green End is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Green End?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does your drone take thermal images?
The drone gives you detailed photos of the outside of the roof. Thermal imaging comes with the Premium Survey, as a separate check.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Green End?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Why get it checked now?
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It helps when you plan ahead. In a place like Green End, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Airspace, weather and Green End roofs
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. Historic houses like West Wycombe Park House, about 1.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Green End goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Large and complex roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Tall and steep roofs
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Tell us the exact address when booking
File the report and photos with your home documents. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
