About our drone roof survey in Lurgashall
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we are there to survey. If you are worried about ridge pieces that have lifted and wind damage high on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Historic houses such as Petworth House, about 3.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Lurgashall goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Lurgashall, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Common questions in Lurgashall
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Lurgashall?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Will you come out to Lurgashall?
Yes, Lurgashall is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What do I do with the report?
You will get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- 98% of clients satisfied

What we look for on each type of roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. A drone avoids that.
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. If the flue needs a specialist, we will tell you.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Lurgashall
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
When to book a survey in Lurgashall
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
