Why it is worth a survey now in Littleworth Corner
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. Close-up photos show what’s really there. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Around Littleworth Corner, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Drone roof survey in Littleworth Corner: what you get
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are plant growth and moss on the roof and ponding and splits on a high flat roof.
In a small place like Littleworth Corner, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Littleworth Corner
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Anne, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Littleworth Corner, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

FAQs for Littleworth Corner
Is Littleworth Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in Littleworth Corner listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
The camera stays on your roof. We inspect only the roof you’ve asked about. If your roof is shared, it’s useful to tell your neighbours about the visit.
Are you registered with the CAA?
Yes. Our registration covers a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does the drone show the underside of the roof?
No. A drone shows the outside surfaces of the roof in close detail, but it cannot see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it is safe.
