What happens if roof problems are left?
On a tall building, problems are often found only when water comes in. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Older and listed buildings around Lower Eashing may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Drone roof survey in Lower Eashing: what you get
We carry out drone roof surveys in Lower Eashing and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We survey tall and steep roofs, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and chimney tops in poor condition.
Somewhere as small as Lower Eashing, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the price in Lower Eashing
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere like Lower Eashing needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- A flight where airspace permission is refused

Drone roof surveys around Lower Eashing
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Loseley Park lies about 2.7 miles north-east, so building around Lower Eashing goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Take a building like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Lower Eashing
Will you come out to Lower Eashing?
Yes, Lower Eashing is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Lower Eashing listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Are there drone restrictions in central London?
Central London has restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs, where flights need permission from NATS. We check the airspace for your address and apply where needed.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Useful tips for Lower Eashing property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
We email the report to you, including the close-up photos taken by the drone. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
