Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hog Hatch
We carry out drone roof surveys in Hog Hatch and across London and the South East, subject to airspace checks and the weather. We fly on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey large and complex roofs, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are hidden gutters full of leaves and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
In smaller places like Hog Hatch, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from ground level. The parts you cannot see, like rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. The forecast decides the day. Close-up images frequently show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from the ground.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Hog Hatch
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. It’s hard to tell from below what has shifted. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
If you look after a building such as Folly Hill Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- When you will get the report
- Their insurance cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Common questions in Hog Hatch
Is Hog Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Hog Hatch listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
The camera stays on your roof. We only survey what the owner has asked us to. If your roof is shared, it helps to tell your neighbours about the visit.
What does a roof survey cost?
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 inc. VAT.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Being in a smaller place like Hog Hatch does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- 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.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Let us know what you want to see
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photos and findings. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Hog Hatch

Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see by drone or thermal camera. Take an older house close to St Mark the Evangelist Church: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
