Why act early in Hunt's Green
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. In a small place like Hunt's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
Drone roof survey in Hunt's Green
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it’s safe, since that’s where leaks and condensation frequently show first. Inside and out together tell you far more. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. If there’s no safe loft access, the report says so. Typical surveys look at lifted or split lead flashings and moss and weeds taking hold up top, across tall and steep roofs, fragile roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Hunt's Green may be 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. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older roofs in small places like Hunt's Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- A structural engineer’s report
- Flights in high wind or heavy rain

Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Tall and steep roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
Airspace, weather and Hunt's Green roofs
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hunt's Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take a building like Lee Common Church of England School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For an older house near a landmark like Old Church of St John the Baptist, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
We email the report to you, with close-up photographs from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Hunt's Green: your questions answered
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Hunt's Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is my home in Hunt's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
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 whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. We check outlets and photograph any build-up.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
