What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Maiden's Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey

Advice
Drone roof survey in Maiden's Green
Drones need reasonable weather. Strong wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the day turns out unsuitable, we will talk about another date or inspect what we can by other means. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you’ve noticed debris building up in hidden gutters and ridge pieces that have lifted, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Maiden's Green are 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Maiden's Green
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Large and complex roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
Do you need a drone roof survey in Maiden's Green?
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Flashings that have come away
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking any roof surveyor

- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
We email the report to you, with close-up photos from the flight. Each finding is explained in plain words, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, particularly in autumn. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.

Drone roof surveys around Maiden's Green
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen 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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Maiden's Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Maiden's Green?
Yes. Maiden's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Are there drone restrictions around Maiden's Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Maiden's Green?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
