FAQs for Little Stanmore
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Little Stanmore?
Parking in Little Stanmore, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Stanmore?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Are you registered with the CAA?
Yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Our drone weighs under 250g and follow the drone code.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
Our drone survey is about close-up photographs. If you need thermal imaging, it’s part of the Premium Survey, as a separate check.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. The drone sees the roof from outside only. For the underside, we check the loft where it can be reached safely, as damp and daylight often show there first.
Drone roof survey in Little Stanmore: what you get
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about lead work pulling away at abutments and wind damage high on the roof.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, which makes care around neighbours part of the job. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy, in Little Stanmore as anywhere. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when you book. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
- Tall and steep roofs
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How we price drone roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Little Stanmore, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Let us know what you want to see
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
Keep the photos with your property records. They give you something to compare against later, and they help if you sell.
Look at the roof from ground level after strong winds. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
Drone roof surveys around Little Stanmore
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
Anyone responsible for a site like Krishna Avanti Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Broadwalk Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Little Stanmore.

Why get it checked now?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect, which helps when you ask for quotes. In Little Stanmore, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
