Mayes Green Drone Roof Survey
Drone roof surveys across Mayes Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Drone roof survey in Mayes Green
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, since that is where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are storm damage on steep or tall roofs and chimney tops in poor condition.
In a small place like Mayes Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Mayes Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mayes Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Mayes Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
How do I book a survey in Mayes Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is Mayes Green in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Mayes Green.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What will the report tell me?
A report with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
What happens if roof problems are left?
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. They show the location and extent of each defect. Outbuildings and barns around Mayes Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
Your report arrives by email, with close-up photographs from the flight. Each finding is explained in plain words, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Mayes Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Mayes Green. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Drone roof surveys around Mayes Green
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Whatever the street in Mayes Green, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
